robbinschilds "I came here on my own"
Art in General
This event has ended.
robbinschilds was formed by choreographers, Sonya Robbins and Layla Childs in 2003. Though trained in and rooted by a background in dance, robbinschilds often works outside of that discipline, engaging in site-specific and installation-based performances which contain elements of video, sound and sculpture. The duo creates performance and video works for diverse venues including the stage, gallery, museum or site. In their presentation of time based work robbinschilds explores the juncture between architecture or place, and human interaction.
robbinschilds’ live work has been presented in NYC at The Kitchen, PS 122, Dance Theater Workshop, MoMA PS 1, The New Museum, Movement Research at Judson Church, DanceSpace Project at St. Mark’s Church, and the Autumn Skate Bowl. Outside of New York, the company was presented at Pica’s 2009 TBA festival, Portland, OR; SFMOMA, San Francisco, CA; The Art Center, Salina, KS; The Marfa Ballroom, Marfa, TX; Fritz Haeg’s Sundown Salon, Los Angeles, CA; and internationally at The Donau Festival, Krems, Austria.
