US Premiere

In this intimate and out-of-bounds choreographic salon, time-based sculptures shift between the human and the animal, the real and the imaginary; a series of unexpected contemplative landscapes. Initiated by Antonija Livingstone in 2009 as a partnership with Jennifer Lacey, the work is an ever-expanding display of a collection of Medicine Dances: co-created and performed with Montréal-based visual artist Dominique Pétrin, Stephen Thompson, guest artist Dana Michel, and Berlin-based sound artist Brendan Dougherty. Culture Administration & Trembling invites the public to spend time together to wonder about being a spectator, a witness, or a companion.

Culture Administration & Trembling was co-produced by Festival TransAmériques, Agora de la Danse, Studio 303, Les Escales Improbables Montréal. With support from Impulstanz, Vienna, Centre Choréographique Nationale de Langedoc-Rousillion, Fabrik Potsdam, Osprey Arts Center.

This presentation is supported in part by Canada Council for the Arts and the Goethe-Institut.


Culture Administration & Trembling is part of the American Realness festival, which also presents the New York premiere of Ligia Lewis’s Sorrow Swag.
