Video Description: Two light-skinned dancers, Amy and Nicole, wearing shorts and plaid shirts hold one another and stomp loudly in a circular pattern. They occasionally yell and voice outloud. The performance is in an industrial space with pop-up lights and windows.

No Negative Space (2017)

Performance: Nicole Spence, Amy Sutheimer

An exploration in codependency, rhythm, exhaustion, and vocalization. Blending “incoherent” vocals with rhythmic stomping, the circular pattern becomes a psychological loop the dancers engrain into the ground. The vocals were developed as an extension of my own frustration with language to articulate feelings and emotions.
