Choreographing the Resistance: A Conversation with Morgan Thorson and Alan Sparhawk
Nearly a decade since Heaven, their 2010 investigation of perfection and spirituality, Morgan Thorson and Alan Sparhawk have again come together to create Public Love, an intimate act of resistance against an encroaching physical power. Fresh off a critically acclaimed album release with his band Low, Sparhawk will be embracing the pervasive powers of low frequencies to physically interact with the large list of dance-collaborators as well as Thorson’s open yet precise method of choreography. In a new discussion, the pair tackles timely questions of power, agency over one’s own body, and where dance meets music on the map of modern art.
