Milka Djordjevich // ANTHEMTHUR—SUN, JUNE 7—10, 2018https://performancepractice.la/milka-djordjevich-anthem/“Perfectly unleashed… with a brazen, sensual and blessedly chaotic force.” –The New York TimesQuestioning contemporary dance’s predisposition towards neutrality, authenticity and the de-sexualization of the female body, ANTHEM embraces theatricality, virtuosity and sass. The work weaves together existing and imagined vernacular dance styles to explore labor, play, and feminine-posturing. Four women execute a repetitive yet complex movement vocabulary that evolves as they rotate hypnotically within the confines of a square. Over time, the meditative rigor of their steps dissolves into a tangle of commotion, blurring the distinction between the mundane and the glamorous.PERFORMANCE TIMESTHUR, JUNE 7 at 10PMSAT, JUNE 9 at 10PMSUN, JUNE 10 at 3PMSUN, JUNE 10 at 7PMLOCATIONPresented by LOS ANGELES PERFORMANCE PRACTICE@ GHEBALY GALLERY // 2245 E Washington Boulevard, Los Angeles.
