Sheena McGrandles
as long as you want
- Dance
approx. 60 mins.
The duet “as long as you want” by Sheena McGrandles and Eli Cohen is a choreographic study of lesbian temporalities and lesbian desire. The movement material, inspired by Shibari, gay shadow dance, and pogo, unfolds in a pastel-colored landscape filled with digital renderings and densely knotted denim structures. Through intense physical connections of formal movements and ambivalent sensations an ongoing choreography of fractured paces and space of dis/attachment emerge. The dancers create a pulsating and undulating world in which the amorphous bodies and figures appear as if they are caught in an endless wave of desire and longing. Playful and provocative at the same time, “as long as you want” becomes a deep emotional and physical experience and shows how desire can grow from a fleeting moment into a profound force.
