Artist Website
Project Title
Court/Garden
Fiscal Year Awarded
2015
Grant or Program
National Dance Project Production Grant
Grant Amount
$43,000

A spectacle in three acts, Court/Garden (CG) is a dance and live music performance. It takes as its inspiration the imperial ballets of Louis XIV's French Court, the spectatorship of the proscenium stage, and the presentation of video feeds as cultural, social, and political frames of experience. With direction by choreographer Yanira Castro, an environment by Kathy Couch, costumes by Mio Guberinic, and music by Stephan Moore, CG continues a canary torsi's work in developing scenarios where the audience's presence radically impacts the work. Estimated artist fee: $15,000/performance, $20,000/week, (Plus housing and travel).

The mural, which spells out Clinton, sits on the side of a wall that creates a bridge for a train. The town of Clinton sits beyond the tracks with tall green trees and a bright blue sky.

On the side of a large container on the back of a dump truck, a mural of kids watering plants. Monarch butterflies flutter. It reads behind them, "Belchertown," over a shade of blue found in the sky above.
