Still. Moving: Metamorfosis (Alba) as interpreted by Tara Z. Mullins

Experience art in motion as choreographer, teaching professor, and NCSU Performance and Lecture Series Coordinator Tara Z. Mullins brings a living, breathing response to Metamorfosis (Alba), a powerful mixed-media work by Spanish artist Manuel Rivera. In this dynamic site-specific performance, dance becomes the medium through which Rivera’s enduring piece is reimagined, transforming stillness into fluid expression. Stay after the performance for a brief talkback with Mullins and the dancers—an opportunity to dive deeper into the dialogue between movement and material.

About Still. Moving
This performance dance series explores the timeless works of the People’s Collection and loaned works through the lens of movement. Each object becomes a partner in a visual and physical dialogue as dancers interpret form, story, and silence with their bodies. Still. Moving reimagines the gallery as a stage where past and present meet and where the boundaries between objects and experience dissolve. 

Support for Still. Moving is provided by Dawn F. Lipson.
