IN THE PLAGUE OF DREAMS
(2016)
LoudHoundMovement
Choreography by Brendan Duggan and Mallory Lynn in collaboration with the performers
Performed by Amy Moore, Nicholas Grubbs, Krista Morgensen, Shelby Terrell, Holly Sass, and Maxwell Perkins
The Actors Fund Arts Center: Brooklyn, New York
‘In The Plague of Dreams is inspired by Lindsay Stern's novella Town of Shadows. Like Stern's book, the piece is a series of abstracted vignettes peeking into the lives of a town's artistically oppressed citizens, who seek alternative and often fantastical methods of self-expression. This piece is an interpretation the text's themes of loss and identity by following the experience of a main character on his journey through his metaphor-drenched memories. Originally conceived and performed as an immersive installation.’

PHELAN SPRING 16
(2016)
Choreography by Shannon Gillen
Performed by Lavinia Vago, Gabrielle Lamb, Amy Moore, and Krista Morgensen
La MaMa Experimental Theater: New York City, New York

‘The dance wasn’t just for show. As Amanda Phelan explained, “movement” is key to her brand’s identity, and she wanted every element of her first collection, and its presentation, to speak to that theme. Its plainest expression was via the knits, which displayed a staggering level of technical invention: There were knits popcorned and puckered, ones gossamer sheer, and others patterned in graphic intarsia. Phelan was clearly stretching her knitwear muscles here, but she spent the wealth of her Wang experience in another way, too: Aside from a few longeurs, these were street-ready, commercial looks.
Phelan’s movement theme also extended to the woven pieces. It was evident in an abstract brushstroke print, and in here-and-there fringe embellishment. A long cotton skirt was slit up the front to accommodate a long stride, and the blinding metallic pieces captured motion through light. The looks the dancers wore, also by Phelan, weren’t included in the official runway collection. The dancers’ high-waisted, wide-leg cropped trousers demonstrated movement in the best way possible—through the furious aliveness of bodies.’

Performed by Amy Moore and Nicholas Grubbs
The Actors Fund Arts Center: Brooklyn, New York
'“From Crown to Sole follows two strangers discovering each other, their environment, and their audience. Natural hierarchy, subtle power struggles, and the presence of the audience seem to enclose the two strangers in a confined arena as they discover their potential for both rescue and apathy.”

THE WILDER PAPERS
(2014)
The Wilder Papers was an experimental collaboration fusing live music, dance, and an original narrative which led an audience of 200 through 10 sections of a repurposed factory space in Maspeth, Queens. The narrative explores the imagined history of a composer and a dancer who took over the building to conduct experiments in motion capture and data-driven composition, before the isolation drives the duo into disillusionment and madness.

VAROSHA
(2013)
Choreography by Shannon Gillen
Performed by Amy Moore, Genna Baroni, and Catherine Coury
Peridance: New York City, New York
‘Episodic in structure, VAROSHA chronicles the preserved debris of a beach town abandoned under duress during the invasion of Cyprus in 1974. A quixotic and dazzling array of spatial designs reveal memories of revelry juxtaposed against the ghosted images of forgotten objects. Dancers ripple and slip, weave and float, while revealing the tender remnants of life in an empty place.
Performed in Shannon Gillen's “hard-driving and emotionally affecting” style, acclaimed dance artists Genna Baroni, Catherine Coury, and Amy Moore have been working together with SGG for the past year. Their insights, emotional commitment, and incredible virtuosic talent have made VAROSHA a work that shimmers playfully in the eye, while it sinks deeply into the mind.’

Triskelion Arts: Brooklyn, New York
Press
‘Watching Shannon Gillen + Guests perform "A Colored Image of the Sun" means being struck over and over by the human ability to achieve the sublime. The constant push and pull between beauty and terror and ecstasy and violence was apparent in every minute of the piece, which transcended the limitations implicit in the human form and became something more than human, it became universal.’
-Kristin Iversen, The L Magazine
'A Colored Image of the Sun puts a powerful charge in the air from start to end.'
