About A Call and Response
A Call and Response consists of three movement-based projects, all of which encourage visitors to participate in their formation.
The installation in the Commons
A series of prompts invite visitors to explore together the ways our appearances and movements convey social meaning.
Open Call
Fernandes asks visitors to answer a “call to movement” and participate in a collectively generated performance alongside professional dancers in the Commons and on the Terrace. While this piece has been performed before at other venues and institutions, it’s a totally unique experience created in the moment, with the people in the room.
Calling Time
With the keen eyes of visitors to the museum, Fernandes and three dancers create a new movement piece over the course of open rehearsals throughout the summer. Culminating in two final performances in the fall, Calling Time is catalyzed by architectural constructions, prompts, and visitor input.
See the schedule below for all of Fernandes’s rehearsals, activations, and performances to collaborate in the creation of new work.
