Movements in Color

Movements in Color is a collaborative dance work by choreographer Caitlin Dutton-Reaver and painter Amanda Millet-Sorsa that intertwines both artists’ sensibilities on color as visual and emotional stimuli. The focus pertains to five colors in particular: white, orange, red, indigo, and black. Each focused hue holds a multitude of historical, social, and emotional contexts including passion, joy, secrecy, youth, and pain, ranging the spectrum of Apollonian to Dionysian thought. Movements in Color will layer each shade as accumulating movements in dance and paint, set to an original score, and culminating in a wild expression of amalgamated artistic disciplines. This work is made possible in part by the Queens Council on the Arts with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.

In the beginning we have a blank slate.

The white silence of the #socratessculpturepark philosopher begins with a line of nothingness- who shall not know anything? #movementsincolor @caitlinplusdancers @socratespark

And from a void we can suddenly give birth. The youth and harmony of things can pave a way to eternity, and perhaps of love. So could love be white? #socratessculpturepark #symposium @socratespark with @caitlinplusdancers #movementsincolor
