I don't know how much we'll manage to see in Miami, but there are several performances I want to recommend.
Elena Kovylina, Still from Waltz as performed in Berlin, 2001
The first is Elena Kovylina's Waltz, presented by Schroeder Romero, which will be performed as part of the NADA Fair on December 1st, at 11:30am. Here is an excerpt from the gallery's press release:
This will be the first time it has been performed in the United States.Elena Kovylina, a Russian artists, will perform Waltz which, through its motions, is a metaphor for he rise and fall of the Russian military and culture. It was recently presented in video form at Schroeder Romero in the exhibition Russia Redux #1, curated by Elena Sorokina. Holland Cotter of The New York Times called it "a stirring performance in which grace and violence mesh.
Waltz was conceived in 2001 and has been performed in Germany and subsequently in several European cities. The artist subverts the prevalent clichés of the "Russian woman" whose body became one of the main sources of revenues in the new capitalist economy of the 1990s. She also subtly comments on a forced "reconciliation" between Russia and Germany, the former absolute war enemies and ideological adversaries. Choosing members of the Western audience to dance, the artist reverses the prevalent aesthetics of failure, empowering herself and symbolically activating what has been repressed.
James wrote about the exhibition Russia Redux #1, which I would consider one of the best shows of the year. You can read more about Waltz on the artist's web site.
The other recommendation is basically all performances related to Frisbee, especially "Champion Fine Art Dance" with Flora Wiegmann and Felicia Ballos on December 3rd at 4pm.
