Still. Moving: Sunflower II as interpreted by Dr. Kristi Vincent Johnson

Join us for the kickoff of a new monthly dance and movement series at the NCMA. Watch as dancers offer a living response to Sunflower II by Joan Mitchell, bringing choreographed motion to what was made to endure. This work is interpreted by Dr. Kristi Vincent Johnson, NCMA choreographic fellow and chair of the North Carolina Central University Dance Program.

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 the boundaries between objects and experience dissolve.
