FD13 residency for the arts welcomes Warsaw and London-based artist Alex Baczyński-Jenkins (b. 1987). Baczyński-Jenkins’ choreographic work employs dance, micro-gesture and poetic language in order to celebrate and make public a queer politics of desire. This visit marks the first of two trips Baczyński-Jenkins will make to Minneapolis, returning again in September 2020 to present a newly commission performance in response to the architecture and history of Peavey Plaza, the artists’ first U.S. commission.
In this workshop, Alex Baczyński-Jenkins will lead participants through a series of movements and exercises set to a live mixed soundtrack. As a group, we will revisit Baczyński-Jenkins 2018 work Untitled (Holding Horizon), which draws on the box step, a basic movement used in several social dances, to explore collectivity, subjectivity, queer embodiment and intimacy.
No formal dance or movement experience is required for this workshop. All abilities are welcome. For questions regarding access, please contact info@fd13residency.org.
Alex Baczyński-Jenkins’ residency events are made possible with generous support from lead project donors Ellen and Jan Breyer.
