Tahni Holt and Shannon Stewart perform a field, a forest at Whiteman college

A field, A forest
with Tahni Holt and Shannon Stewart
February 1st, 8:00 pm
Studio Series at Whitman College, Walla Walla Wa.

Dense, vertical, tangled. Connective tissue to roots and branches, blood to sap, wood to bark and slowed down energetic tree pulse. A field, A forest is the second performance expression of a migrating movement research project done collectively in collaboration with our tree kin and each other, Tahni Holt and Shannon Stewart.

For the past two years dance artists shannon stewart and Tahni Holt have woven their interests together creating a kinship in deeply researched embodied forms. It is a form of love and friendship that brings together creation and community, in a way that mirrors their individual practices as artists and organizers/builders in the respective places they live. Shannon and Tahni’s work resides in the study of interconnected systems–ecology, history, performative bodies (including non-human), and expansive understandings of communication. Together they have danced FOREST in Portland, OR, Lawrence, KS, New Orleans, LA. And now Whitman College in Walla Walla, WA.
