In a dance and sculptural performance, Brendan Fernandes: In Two presents a series of duets performed throughout the galleries. Responding directly to Scott Burton: Shape Shift, the dancers engage with Burton’s “furniture sculptures”—artworks that were originally made for public use. Like Burton (1939–1989), Fernandes draws on gestures and signaling within gay cruising culture as part of an ongoing exploration of queer camouflage, visibility, and embodiment. In addition to engaging with Burton’s artwork, dancers also activate two newly-commissioned sets of curtains installed in the upper and lower levels of the Pulitzer’s main gallery and a set of pillows that softly contrast with the hard materials of Burton’s work.

Cushions and chairs will be provided upon request. Space is limited, and registration is required.

Dance artists are multifaceted, and every dance journey is unique. With an emphasis on individuality, Dancers Making Moves will showcase the diverse voices contributing to the artistic fabric of the professional dance community in St. Louis. The project will feature pay-what-you-can mini photography sessions open to all professional dance artists in St. Louis, as well as a focused content generation opportunity for up to 20 select dancers to share their unique stories. Dancers may apply or be nominated, and a specialized committee will decide the final cohort of dance artists. The project will culminate in a multimedia performance and gallery experience featuring content captured by Carly Vanderheyden as well as live performances and a Q&A session with the artists.

Free class! Moves by Marlee and music by egos at Sports Medicine and Training Center.
