Antongiorgi’s work imagines a collection of poems come to life via music, dance, and spoken word. In each scene, a group of dancers takes the audience into the world of a specific poem; some are set to original music behind a recorded voice track of the poem, others are spoken live, and the words, music, and dance are all in conversation with one another. The themes of Antongiorgi’s poems span a wide range: reflections on a life in ballet, the soft notes of a sapphic love poem, a prayer to the ocean, and a promise to remember a loved one. Throughout, the speaker is trying her best to figure out how to live through the ups and downs of being a person and an artist. The poems of RINSE CYCLE are deeply interested in what categorizes something as art and the medium of performance, but they’re also about love and loss, and how the body moves through such powerful emotions.
Antongiorgi has invited a few other hybrid artists to open RINSE CYCLE. She is incredibly excited to be featuring Mars Garcia and Alisya Razman’s “Crossfade” and Ladell Thomas’ “What is Strength”.
