Excerpts from Socks

Written By Tatianna Steiner

Socks investigates the intersection between authenticity, code-switching, adulthood, and childhood with a cast of six dancers. In this piece, Tether Dance Project, under my direction, will explore my intangible connection to knee-high colorful socks and utilize them as a prop and costume piece with body percussion, weight sharing, and floorwork. This was a work-in-progress performance titled Excerpts from Socks, set as an initial preview to the official premiere at Dance Mission Theater April 25 and 27.

Choreographed and Directed by Tatianna Steiner

Performed by Amber Goring, Teo Lin-Bianco, Emma Lowe, Ella Wright, Vivien Terrell, and Tatianna Steiner

Musical Composition by Tatianna Steiner and Teo Lin-Bianco including excerpts from “Kitchen Fan Lullaby (Raw)” by Claire Boyer, “Under a Parasol” by Moon Mullins, “Calling It” by Automatic, “Medela” written & performed by Ben Lukas Boysen, published by Erased Tapes Music, courtesy of Erased Tapes Records, and “Meme Generator” by Dan Deacon

Five dancers rehearse in a spacious studio. Four dancers stand closely together, reaching their arms upward and outward in an expressive pose, while a fifth dancers stand apart, in front of them, bending backward with hands framing their head.
