Collaboration with Lauren Simpson Dance

Lauren Simpson and Galen Rogers

Kaneko

Omaha, NE

An informal performance and conversation between choreographers Lauren Simpson & Galen Rogers and visual artist Lee Running. Lauren and Galen’s creative interests lie at the intersection of bodies and objects.

April 12, 2024

“We were drawn to Lee Running’s work because the objects she creates are often made from the material of the body, specifically the bodies and bones of deer that have been struck by vehicles. The skeletal structure of a deer and that of a full grown human are similar in dimension, shape, and weight. This offered a starting point for a collaboration. Through the careful and attentive practice of choreography, we hope to discover a new perspective on the sculptures, as well as open up a conversation about embodiment, violence, healing, and connection.”
