Arch is pleased to announce Hot Hands, a performance series conceived and choreographed by the artist Madeline Hollander.
Hot Hands is a site specific performance series and installation featuring 6 dancers and draws choreographic inspiration from various versions of the reflex-driven hand game of its title, as well as other classic kids clapping games. The collaborative piece taps into the muscle memory of the dancers’ own childhoods, and playfully explores the corporeal vocabularies around fake-outs, flinches, anticipation, concentration, keeping score, and breaking rules. The installation, composed of inverted benches and tables, mimics objects found at a playground that inform the dancer’s trajectories as they cycle through the game ad infinitum.
