Dirt
Dirt, a new site-specific, full-length work features a trio of women dancers — Peiling Kao, Marit Brook-Kothlow, and Randee Paufve — in our 50s and 60s. The work — which grows out of Randee’s 2013 performance of Soil — draws from the rich histories we hold in our bodies as career-long dance artists, and the stories we now tell through our older dancing bodies.
Dirt follows my 2013 solo show Soil, a site-specific, evening length work, that I performed in my early 50’s. Soil was subsequently produced in 2014 by San Francisco’s ODC Theater, and expanded to include prominent Bay Area dancers — versatile powerhouse Peiling Kao; former Axis Dance Company member Juliana Monin; Mo Miner, of Fogbeast and Little Seismic Dance Company; and video installations by renowned SF videographer Olivia Ting. I received the 2015 Isadora Duncan Award for Outstanding Solo Performance, for both Soil productions.
Dirt will premiere in late 2026, in San Francisco, with subsequent performances in Western Massachusetts.
