Zoë Poluch, Hanako Hoshimi-Caines and Elisa Harkins (SE)

"Radio III / ᎦᏬᏂᏍᎩ ᏦᎢ" is an Indigenous futuristic concert, a beautiful and uncomfortable dance performance, and a perverse triangle of shifting power that seeks to be unfaithful to both minimalism and postmodern dance’s so-called “neutrality.” This choreography haunts the recognizable toolbox of abstraction, form, repetition and pattern by striving to make visible that which has been kept invisible and illegible in colonial systems of aesthetics.
