Meet the Steering Committee: David Brick
Artistic Director of Headlong Dance Theater

David Brick collaborates broadly in making dance, participatory installations and community. The experience of growing up hearing in a Deaf family influences his thinking about how bodies perform as both subjects and agents of culture. Losing his hearing as an adult continues to contribute to his holistic and innovative practices that understands inclusivity as a resource for making work that is more meaningful and excellent in every sense. David is Artistic Director and Co-Founder of Headlong Dance Theater, a platform for performance research founded in Philly in 1993. David also directs the Headlong Performance Institute, a trans-disciplinary performance practice and training residency whose graduate fellows are leaders in creating experimental and community-based work around the US.

In response to #MarieLaurencin: Sapphic Paris, @headlongphilly has developed Horse Woman: Making a World of One's Own, a new performance inspired by #Laurencin’s work and life 👯
-
In the early 1920s, Marie Laurencin designed sets and costumes for #BalletsRusses’s production of Les Biches, featuring a scenario of sexually fluid romantic intrigue. “#Biche” had multiple meanings at the time—a doe, a kept young woman, a #lesbian—and Laurencin playfully intertwined these meanings in her designs 🖋️
-
Inspired by this production, @ddeanbrick and Norma Porter of Headlong have reinterpreted the ballet’s themes for today and channeled the female-animal landscape of Laurencin’s aesthetic world to explore contemporary notions of fluidity, queerness, and gender. Horse Woman features luminous costumes by #MaikoMatsushima that draw from Laurencin’s use of color and depictions of gender.
-
Two open rehearsals that invite the audience into the choreographic process will culminate in a *final performance* on Thursday, January 18 from 7 – 9 pm, with a panel discussion with the creative team moderated by exhibition co-curator Cindy Kang 🔜
-
Open rehearsals:
✔️ Saturday, November 18 | noon - 2 pm
✔️ Friday, December 15 | 1 - 3 pm

*FREE* with admission, performances take place across the Barnes—in the Roberts Gallery, Annenberg Court, and outdoor spaces—and invite audiences to watch and roam, adding a new dimension to experiencing Laurencin’s work as well as the architecture of the Barnes 🖼️
-
This performance series is choreographed by Headlong’s David Brick and Norma Porter in collaboration with designer Maiko Matsushima and dancers Saturn Freeman, Courtney Henry, and Jungwoong Kim. Sound design is by Jordan McCree.
