Ephemeral Artifacts
by Anandam
Ephemeral Artifacts: Travis Knights is a non-linear journey through the evolution of jazz and tap. It celebrates the body as a space of transmission and dance as a defiant act of creating knowledge. Featuring subversive tap dance superstar Travis Knights, this work integrates dance, music, video and storytelling. It unravels the body as a site of consequence and celebrates dance as a form of resistance.
Ephemeral Artifacts is an iterative repertoire production of ANANDAM’s choreographed by Brandy Leary. Created in 2017 it exists in different iterations, each with a diverse cast of artists. Since 2017 the work has been shown in gallery, theatre and public space contexts. Ephemeral Artifacts: Travis Knights features magnetic tap artist Travis Knights. This unique collaboration between Leary and Knights offers a multidisciplinary journey that unsettles standard traditions of choreography, improvisation and collective creation.
