A free popup performance by Megan Bridge & Beau Hancock at Fidget on Sep 10, 6:30pm

Performed by Megan Bridge and Beau Hancock, The Backyard is a 45 minute improvised dance that proposes a hyper-conscious inhabiting of time, space, and relationship; a radical invitation for intimacy and embodiment. Placing Steve Paxton and Lisa Nelson’s work PA RT (1978-2002) at the center of our research, The Backyard exists in a landscape of deep listening and rigorous attention. With music by Robert Ashley, this new work is also a palimpsest of PA RT—an effaced manuscript, written over, but still bearing traces of its original form. The Backyard was developed in a residency with Steve Paxton and Lisa Nelson at their studio on Mad Brook Farm in Vermont in summer 2017 and 2018.
