Over the last eight years, The Seldoms have quietly built a reputation for creating astute, inquisitive dances that engage the surrounding world both physically and intellectually. - New City

Hanson's emphasis on shifting perspectives and the interconnectedness of art and life reminds us of the value of humanism, of gentleness and uncertainty and imagination, even of relativism. - Chicago Reader

Carrie Hanson ... is a virtuoso of meticulous composition. - Time Out Chicago

For Marchland, Chicago-based choreographer Carrie Hanson collaborates with visual artist Fraser Taylor to create a new ensemble work about mark-making, endurance, and borders. Hanson, the artistic director of The Seldoms, was inspired by Taylor's video, CREVICE, a frenetic animation and sound piece that he created by making minute drawings directly onto the surface of clear 16mm film, later capturing the projected film with digital video. Marchland combines video, sculpture, and costume design by Chicago fashion designer Lara Miller with idiosyncratic movement, mimicking the same flickering, erratic, and charged qualities of Taylor's video.
Artists Up Close

Open Doors: Marchland
Thursday, March 11, 10 am to 1 pm
FREE, with museum admission

Museum visitors are invited to drop in to observe the artists at work in the theater on the production's final stages. Enjoy a rare glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes just days before a show opens to the public. Drawing inspiration from visual artist Fraser Taylor's feverish animation and sound piece, CREVICE, and utilizing video, sculpture, and costume design by Chicago fashion designer Lara Miller, Chicago's own The Seldoms mount a dance performance in the eclectic and visionary tradition they've come to exemplify.
