Untethered and Unseen- The Mysterious LIfe of Helma af Klint- UpRooted Dance

Choreography: Made in collaboration between Keira Hart-Mendoza, Kelsey Rhor, and Carrie Monger

Dancer: Kelsey Rhor

Music: Robin Ghertner (original composition)

Costumes: Sabrina Mandell

Projection Art & Animation: Nitsan Scharf

Program note: When Hilma af Klint (1862-1944) began creating radically abstract paintings in 1906, they were like little that had been seen before: bold, colorful, and untethered from any recognizable references to the physical world. It was years before Vasily Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich, Piet Mondrian, and others would take similar strides to rid their own artwork of representational content.

Produced between 1906 and 1915, the paintings were generated in part through af Klint’s spiritualist practice as a medium and reflect an effort to articulate mystical views of reality. Much of her work was not seen until 1986, 40 years after her death.
