This August, Emily Johnson/Catalyst returns to ODC Theater in the Bay Area premiere of SHORE, the final work in a trilogy that began with Bessie Award-winning The Thank-You Bar, presented at ODC in 2011.
At spring, people return from the wintered isolation of their respective family nuclei and form one whole organism, made up of all the parts that sustain a community.
Emily Johnson/Catalyst brings its expansive installation SHORE to Lenapehoking (New York City). SHORE is the third part of a trilogy exploring the complex terrain of identity, memory, ancestry, land, and community. Building on these themes, SHORE brings ideas and questions that emerged in the first two works -- the Bessie Award-winning The Thank-you Bar (2011) and the richly layered Niicugni (2013) -- out into the world. Throughout the trilogy, Johnson has asked: How can performance uniquely connect us to our land, our lives, and each other? SHORE's gatherings and events will take place at various locations April 19-26, with performances at New York Live Arts April 23-25.
Accompanying her is Maggie McCarthy, a St. Louis native and talented Webster student. She is also joined by new St. Louis friends Sara Rae Womack, Rachel Kuenzi, Kendra Moore, Kelvin Urday, Eileen Engel, and others. We can expect a set list that includes modern show tunes, classic favorites, and a healthy sprinkle of pop. Visit the online website for more information! www.thenewgirlstl.weebly.com.
