ARTIST INFORMATION
an attic an exit reveals two characters traveling through five scenes within the confinement of a single room. Puzzles and clues are offered and deciphered: hanging suit coats, a recurring precipice, levitating geometry, a trail of flour, and the manipulation of salt, saucers, and silverware take the audience on a haunting and delightful ride. With hyper precision, these two white-faced, white-haired twins create a language through movement, define an elaborate set with tedious economy, and find escape from their seemingly restricted environment through an imaginary landscape of fetishization, endless negotiations, and micro-adjustments. The stark black and white restraint of the stage is gradually flooded with details as the piece moves from comic book illustration to mystery novel to poetry.
lean to productions presents the duet work of long-time collaborators Rachael Lincoln and Leslie Seiters. Intent on expanding definitions of dance, lean to productions choreographs movement, props, rigging, and sound to viscerally engage their audience. The company seeks to evoke the moments when movement becomes language, objects become characters, and everyday logic is suspended. With equal concern for precision and wonder, Lincoln and Seiters integrate influences from contemporary dance, visual art, fiction, aerial dance, and theater. lean to productions' work has been presented in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Poland, and Portugal.
