Molly Shanahan/Mad Shak
Since 1994, Molly Shanahan/Mad Shak supports Molly Shanahan's movement and performance research and multi-modal collaborations emphasizing live performance and supplemented by written and video/film documentation, community workshops/classes, and public discussion. Shanahan's core values stem from the belief that convergences of creation and performance form communities and inspire change for both artist and witness. Her work is deeply personal and rigorously researched through a mining of the inner world in tandem with an advancing movement vocabulary comprised of richly detailed spirals enlivened through subtle and idiosyncratic shifts of relationship, image and memory. Shanahan's recent and current projects (Eye Cycle, My Name is a Blackbird, and Stamina of Curiosity) signal her expansion from craft and theme-driven abstract dances to live performance research of spontaneity and vulnerability as productive creative states within the context of performances that honor the witness's role in co-creating experience.
