ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Jeanine Durning is a Guggenheim and Alpert award-winning choreographer and performer described by The New Yorker as having “the potential for philosophical revelation and theatrical disaster.” Her choreography, performance, practice-based research, teaching and mentoring all investigates the mobilizing and mutable force of bodies, grappling with their conditions in time, space, and place. Since 1998, she has created works that blur artistic and aesthetic boundaries, and since 2010, her “nonstopping” practice has formed the core of her ongoing research, operating in the spaces between thought, movement and language.

She toured her acclaimed solo inging from 2010-2020, an ongoing choreographic experiment in non- stopping speech that examines the limits and openings of language, perception, and presence. Durning’s performances and commissions for other artists and companies have been presented
throughout the U.S., Europe, and in Canada, including at Danspace Project, Dance Theater Workshop, American Realness Festival, The Chocolate Factory Theater, BAM in NYC; Sadler’s Wells in London, and Dansens Hus in Stockholm. She has been resident artist at MANCC, The Rauschenberg Residency (Captiva, FL), Seoul Dance Center, The National Palace of Culture in Sofia, among many others and has been a guest lecturer at SNDO (School for New Dance Development/Amsterdam), Movement Research/NYC, HZT/Berlin, SKH/Stockholm and many University dance programs in the States, including more recently at Smith College and NYU Tisch School of the Arts, MFA Dance.

Durning has had the privilege to collaborate with many choreographers, including in her early years David Dorfman Dance (1993-2003), Susan Rethorst (2005-2008), and since 2005 with pioneering choreographer Deborah Hay, working as performer, choreographic assistant, coach, and consultant to Motion Bank (a project of The Forsythe Company). From 2020-2023, Jeanine worked as Rehearsal Director for Stockholm based contemporary dance company Cullberg, transmitting, directing, and
internationally touring Hay’s choreographic works, including Horse, the solos which was nominated for 3 “Bessie” awards in 2023. She is currently working on a new trio of Ms. Hay’s called Short-sighted with veteran performers Ros Warby and Scott Heron.

In 2023, together with writer/editor Jenn Joy and the support of MANCC and The Mellon Foundation, Durning collaborated on a book project centered around her practice of nonstopping.

Molly Poerstel (Dance and Performance) is a dance artist whose performing and choreographic career spans twenty-five years. A powerful performer, she has gained recognition over the years for her work with Ivy Baldwin, Hilary Clark, David Dorfman Dance Company, Alex Escalante, Mark Jarecke, Larissa
Velez-Jackson, Juliana F. May, Susan Rethorst and Roseanne Spradlin. Her performance collaborations with Jeanine Durning span the length of her career, and include the works:  half URGE (2003), Out of Kennel, Into a Home (2007), Ex-Memory: waywewere (2009), To Being (2015), and Body Goes (2026).

Poerstel was nominated for a New York Dance and Performance “Bessie” Award for Sustained Achievement in Dance Performance in 2019 for her collective body of performance work with Ivy Baldwin, Jeanine Durning and Juliana F. May.  Her current choreographic body of works are a trilogy of explorations into embodied memory. I am Also – Monte (2021), was commissioned by Abrons Art Center, Flesh House (2023) at Kestrels in Brooklyn, and her next work, Galactic Ash (working title) considers the in-between spaces of our past and future identities through the complicated binds of grief, ancestry, and lineage. She was a 2015 Movement Research Artist-in-Residence and a 2018 BAX Parent Space Grant Recipient. She has taught at The Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts, The New School, SUNY Purchase Dance Conservatory, Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University, Dalton School, and the Nanyang School of the Fine Arts in Singapore.

Tian Rotteveel (Music and Performance) is a Berlin-based composer, performer, and maker of choreographic works. He studied music composition at the royal conservatoire of The Hague (NL) with Yannis Kyriakides and attended masterclasses such as Robert Ashley and Steve Reich. His electroacoustic compositions frequently feature percussion, brass, and modular synthesis. In 2014, he completed a Bachelor’s degree in Dance and Choreography, marking a turning point toward an interdisciplinary practice that brings sound and movement into a shared artistic framework.
In Tian’s work, sound and movement function as modes of mobility and perception. Sensory sound or gesture may materialize as meaning while simultaneously remaining present as pure sensation. His practice investigates collective listening and organizing movement as a choreography of attention.

His performance Soulsqueezing (2011) marked a coming together of sound and movement as a unified practice and toured the work extensively over 6 years. Since 2009, Rotteveel has created and collaborated on numerous stage works across contemporary performance contexts. As a performer, he has worked with Tino Sehgal, Jeremy Wade, Diego Gil, Michael Turinsky, Martin Nachbar, Jeanine Durning and many others. In 2019, he was commissioned by Oper Dortmund to create an opera for five opera singers and five artificial-intelligence-driven computer voices. Alongside his artistic practice, Tian teaches sound practices and performance as a visiting lecturer at universities for music and theatre across Europe.

A NOTE FROM JEANINE

My heartfelt thanks goes out to Ivy Baldwin whose invitation to share this evening at Skirball gave me the opportunity to bring together and be in such good and close company with the most incredible group of humans, who teach me about perseverance and purpose. Body Goes was developed through their generosity – this community of folks who believe in both the fundamental necessity and the speculative possibilities of creating something from nothing, or something from collective desire, or something in the midst of ruins of unstable and harmful structures and systems. I’ve been asking myself for a long time, as a choreographic proposal but also as a life hack, how do we keep going in the break, when it feels impossible or improbable – not so much as an endurance project but as an embrace and activation of life force, desire, agency, and responsibility. Dance has given that to me, as well as the people who have made that life possible. In many ways, this project feels like a full circle moment for me, with these particular people, at this time. I’ve been incredibly lucky and honored to be in orbit, practice, and conversation with Molly, Tian, Miguel, Xinan, Hilary, and Mandy – the finest group of real- deal artists, with whom I feel a deep, deep kinship – some whom I’ve known and/or worked with for over 2 decades and some more recently – who are all full of true grit and grace, good humor and good will, curiosity and imagination, love and keen insight. Who also believe in and live the intrinsic value of grappling with this thing called dance, trying to meet the materiality of the body with the ineffable nature of being alive, trying to find alternative structures of being and doing, and ways of sense-making, or just trying to make sense of it all. I’m forever grateful.

Special thanks to Jane Gotch, Jean Vitrano, Jillian Sweeney, Pamela Pietro, and Kristen Leonard for their generosity, to Leah Fournier without whom I truly would have gone a bit bonkers, to Randi and Ian for taking such good care of us throughout this week, and to the Skirball crew for going the extra mile.

And thank you for reading and being here with us, together …
