ABOUT THE EVENT
How can we balance our need for community with our desire for autonomy? In "I Resist This," performers interface with squishy, body-like soft sculptures to explore the inherent tension between independence and interdependence. Invoking the movement language of children's games through weightsharing and improvisation, "I Resist This" activates this human dilemma in a striking and colorful performance.
Charlotte Richardson-Deppe (she/her) is a queer feminist artist working between performance and soft sculpture. She received her MFA in Studio Art from the University of Maryland, College Park, where she currently teaches drawing, sculpture, and photography as a Lecturer in the Department of Art.
