Pulse Mountain
October 6th-8th // 8:00pm
Building Five 2516 NW 29th Ave Portland, OR 97210
Pulse Mountain runs with the current of land bodies, with ancestor bodies, with no bodies. Pulse Mountain is a duet dance collaboration we—Muffie Delgado Connelly and Tahni Holt—are making. In Pulse Mountain, we are promiscuous with our entanglements. We say yes to the fruits of decay, yes to braiding together with the bodies of our youth— the kid bones where we found freedom in dance studios long ago. Allowing for multiplicity in our attentions, Pulse Mountain beats time to the matrix of our always and forever dances.
In Pulse Mountain, we ask: what potential resides in the trembling wreckage? We love into the cracks of extinction. We bleed into transcorporeal sensation. We call in the crone, the stars, and the gems of our destruction.
In Pulse Mountain is the muck, the now that binds us. These pulsating bodies are not our own. We run into the rippling futures of our imagination.
