During a residency in The Kitchen’s building at 512 West 19th Street from July 24-August 10, Autumn Knight created a new project to be viewed by online audiences. This project merged her practice of improvisation with new text, choreography, and sculpture that responded to the architecture of the space. Knight’s work often leverages institutional resources toward inclusion through live performance and immediacy. For this project, across three durational livestreams and a final video edit, she treated the building as her collaborator, investigating its maintenance through performance. Taking up themes related to the anxiety and gaslighting of the current moment in the US, Knight sought to expose the illusory circumstances of performance as it transpires without an audience and explored the generative potential of disappointment. Production Team: Lighting Supervisor: Ali May Sound Supervisor: Philip White Video Supervisor: Ross Karre Cameras: Adele Fournet, Merve Kaya, Monica Duncan Animations: Adebukola Bodunrin Prints: Collaboration with Luther Davis, Powerhouse Arts Production Assistance: Andrew Ricci, Mike Faba, Dante Migone-Ojeda Curated by Lumi Tan For more information, please visit https://onscreen.thekitchen.org/autumn-knight
