P.O.V is a variety show of movement-based physical theater and dance, staged in the round. It moves through short, self-contained pieces on contemporary politics, culture, and critique. Live at the perimeter, four visual artists render their personal read of the dance in front of them by hand - charcoal, paint, ink, sculpture - building work made to enter a permanent collection.By exposing the process of creation, P.O.V pulls the dancer, the visual artist, and the audience into the same grey area: a space void of a single fixed meaning, and full of the wonder of many. Every read of what's happening is valid and invalid at once. P.O.V doesn't resolve that tension. It's built on it.The performance closes into an exhibition of the work made live, available for purchase at the artists' discretion.
