Yours for always
The intersection between spoken word, movement-poetry and dance explores aging, leaving unanswered questions that have to be faced alone.
About Yours for always:
Yours for always examines aging, leaving unanswered questions that have to be faced alone. These questions have physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions, sometimes scary, sometimes too filled with unforgiven guilt. Based on diverse sources: Klein’s poems, historical letters from BBC/Ulster, biblical text, and emotionally evocative, unusual contemporary songs, Murphy’s choreography experiments in the space of struggle between self, social mores and prejudices. His honest, unsparing voice refuses clichéd movements and simplistic solutions while searching for answers and for both public and personal acceptance.
This performance will take place in The Dance Complex's ground floor space, Studio 7. A reception with light fare and beverages will follow the performance.
About Klein & Murphy Duo:
Karen Klein, poet/dancer and Sean Murphy, choreographer/dancer work in the teXtmoVes interdisciplinary intersection between spoken word and movement-poetry and dance, experimentally exploring their boundaries and connections.
Karen Klein performed with Prometheus Elders for 15 years and with Across the Ages Dance for 8 years. In 2011-12 she performed in Prometheus Dance production of Desiderare; her poetry provided the verbal structure. In 2016 she founded teXtmoVes, a poetry/dance collaborative; her first book of poems This Close, was published 2022.
Coming from the UK, Sean Murphy worked in New York with Alwin Nikolai and Murray Louis. His career captures the essence of German Expressionist dance-theater. His work Moving Theater Images received critical acclaim in Europe and the US. He has taught at the Boston Conservatory, NEC, BSO’s Program in the Arts at Tanglewood, Lawrence and Medford public schools, the Eliot Innovation School, Boston.
