Full of artifice and animal appetites, Super Nature will engage the wild, the domestic, and the civilized aspects of human nature to create a radical ecological melodrama.
In Super Nature directors Olive Bieringa and Otto Ramstad will be joined by Bessie award winning composer Zeena Parkins and visual artist Emmett Ramstad. The core cast will include dancers: Justin Jones, Timmy Wagner, Emily Johnson, and Otto Ramstad. Additionally, an ensemble of up to twenty local performers, which will include youth and artists with disabilities, will participate in the research installation and performance.
Super Nature will be co-commissioned by the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Performance Space 122, NYC; and PadlWest, San Diego, and will premiere at the Walker Art Center (WAC) in November 2012. Super Nature is supported by the America Composers Forum, National Performance Network Creation Fund, Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, Impulstanz Festival, Lily Springs, Studio 206 and the McKnight Foundation.
As co-directors of the BodyCartography Project Olive Bieringa and Otto Ramstad investigate the physicality of space in urban, domestic, wild and social landscapes through dance, performance, video and installation work. Our works range from intimate solos for the street or stage, to large community dance works in train stations, short experimental films in national parks, to complex works for site or stage amidst installations of video and sound. We have created over one hundred and twenty five performance works, ten short films and five installations including a recent commission with the Lyon Opera Ballet.
