RedCurrant Collective busting out their movies in between the musical sets of LUX PETIT, Huff This, and Silent Drape Runners in a Williamsburg bar. The crowd was great and the drink were delicious. One highlight was RedCurrant’s collaboration with band Huff This; the band played and the dancers, spread out in the space creating eerie tableaux. At least one dancer rolled in beer, but it was a good Monday night!

As artists, we work very hard to shape our ideas and impulses into something that is legible to someone else. Yet creating art is messy and often written in a strange language that only the artist really “gets.”

As a celebration of the process in creating dance, we are excited to announce “Tags Attached,” the first RedCurrant show. Our scribbles, rehearsal videos, solo improv sessions, and miscellaneous other material will be on show in a separate “museum” display at Gibney Dance Center, and audience members will be encouraged to look at all of our unpolished riffraff. It’s a bit nerve-wracking for us, but it reveals what we’re ultimately about: pursuing our own artistic paths in such a way that product and process are of equal importance.
