From August 31 through September 2, visual artist and performer Tony Orrico will create a movement-based drawing in three parts in the Dance Theater Workshop lobby, working nonstop for four hours each day, from 5:00 to 9:00, with the public is invited to watch free of charge. More than just a wall mural, “Penwald: 4: unison symmetry standing” will feature Orrico using his body in unique ways as the piece comes together, right in front of everyone’s eyes. On his website Orrico writes that “this series considers explorations of symmetry and biomechanics alongside themes of measurement, pathway, gravity, energy, chaos, efficiency, endurance, limitation, repetition, and isolation.” Born in Illinois in 1979, Orrico has danced with Shen Wei Arts and Trisha Brown, presented site-specific performance-art pieces at such locations as Judson Memorial Church and Dixon Place in New York City, Sara Park in Arizona, and a barren landscape in Porto, Portugal; earlier incarnations of “Penwald” have taken place at Postmaster Gallery, PlaceMark, and the Red Horse Café. The final installation will be on view at DTW for an extended period of time.
