STATEMENT
As musician and dancer, POSTERCHILD creates art that immerses the audience in an audio and visual experience. Space becomes transformed to engage the senses in the desired environment for introspection as well as enjoyment. Dance and music throughout history have been an integral part of community to confront, strengthen and heal. As we gain awareness of a deeper level of self, we can stand in the river of experiences, joys, sorrows and challenges and meet life with grace and openness. Music and dance inspire the spirit and cultivate healing and happiness. POSTERCHILD relates this synthesis in performance with the use of original music, movement exploration, original costuming and video installation. POSTERCHILD also offers yoga classes and LILA! (group ecstatic dance workshops), to provide the opportunity for the audience to become the mover and explore their own innate connection to dancing and music.
POSTERCHILD currently performs monthly at their home base, TEMPLE Gallery, located in the East Pilsen Chicago Arts District.
Depending on the venue, event and artistic vision, POSTERCHILD can perform as an intimate duet between mover and musician, or as a larger ensemble, exploring a space as an installation or a featured performance. Based on the intent of the performance, the role of the audience may be that of observer, or take on a more interactive relationship with the development of the piece.
