devynn emory: boiling rain

As part of Community Free Day, choreographer and dance artist devynn emory was invited by Jeffrey Gibson to activate his exhibition POWER FULL BECAUSE WE’RE DIFFERENT.
boiling rain is a call to honor our health care workers enduring the durational tending to bodies impacted by ongoing colonialism. it draws a circle around our departed, with an additional circle around our declining workforce in health care. this performance is an invitation to gather around medical mannequin Jeanie, as she departs this plane into the next. join dancers devynn emory, Yanira Castro and maura nguyễn donohue as they overlay their voices and tongues with the sounds and memories of the club — sweating, insisting on last breaths, and guiding a procession through Jeffrey Gibson’s garments, lights, and ancestral realms. we will offer Jeanie to the skyworld together, as she ascends into the live vocal compositions of artist Holland Andrews.
