New York City Ballet Art Series Presents DRIFT’s Shylight
3 min readPosted inSponsored
The dancing sculpture will be on see at 3 distinctive performances in January and February. Tickets are on sale now.
Dutch artists Lonneke Gordijn and Ralph Nauta are the staff behind DRIFT, a multidisciplinary team that creates experiential sculptures, installations, and performances, uniting audiences with times that encourage a reconnection to our earth.
Their set up for New York Metropolis Ballet’s Artwork Sequence 2023 curates their Shylight into a internet site-specific, performative sculpture, uniting the movement of industrial motors with silk, multi-layered chalice-like constructions that transfer with the grace of a dancer, into a normal choreography with the aim of getting are living emotion and persona in an inanimate product. With personalized choreography supervised by the artists them selves, Shylight’s unpredictable, all-natural-wanting movements become an object that feels alive as it descends to blossom in all its glorious natural beauty, to subsequently close and retreat upward again.
The installation will be on perspective at 3 specific NYC Ballet Artwork Sequence performances on January 27, February 3, and February 9, exactly where all tickets are priced at $38.
