Nora, a white female dancer, stands facing forward while looking towards MacKenzie, a black male dancer, who is sitting beside her with his leg outstretched facing the wall. Their toes connect and they both wear black with fragments of pastel fabric from the soft table like sculpture that is pictured next to MacKenzie.

Nora Stephens and MacKenzie LeTorré perform a dance in collaboration with Kate Holcomb Hale’s soft sculptures in her exhibition, “lean, STAND, COllapse”. The performance centers around the dining table as surrogate for the body and the corporeal experience dissolving boundaries between art and life, the domestic sphere and the gallery. Nora and MacKenzie’s shared movements imitate and activate Kate’s ‘kitchen table’ sculptures drawing attention to the privilege and burden of care, the residue of abuse/trauma within domestic situations, grief and healing.
A video iteration of the dance work will be on view as part of Kate Holcomb Hale’s exhibit until January 28, 2024.
