In March, FSU students participated in Emily Johnson’s SHORE residency at MANCC. The newly released residency video has been recently released.
MANCC welcomed Emily Johnson, Returning Choreographic Fellow, on March 7-22, 2014.
Emily Johnson returned to MANCC to develop her latest work, SHORE, the third in the trilogy of works developed at MANCC that include The Thank-you Bar and Niicugni (Listen). Johnson began work on the Bessie-award winning piece The Thank-you Bar at MANCC in 2009 and premiered Niicugi (Listen) as part of Tallahassee’s Seven Days of Opening Nights in the Fall of 2012.
SHORE is a multi-day performance/installation of four equal parts: dance, story, volunteerism, and feasting. It is a place audiences choose to visit once or many times, as participants or observers. It is a celebration of the places where we meet and merge – land and water, performer and audience, art and community, past, present, and future.
