AUSTYN RICH AT REDCAT

One of the highlights of the recently concluded New Original Works Festival 2019 was BL**DY SPAGHETTI, a performance piece by Austyn Rich for two dancers.

Partnering with Alvaro Montelongo—Rich’s fellow graduate of the inaugural class of USC’s Glorya Kaufman School of Dance—the performers diagram an encounter between sailors in opposition, communicating desire and fear through anguished movement and deferred symmetries.

The music for BL**DY SPAGHETTI is by Cody Perkins, and the wardrobe by Pierre of No Sesso.*

“Designing is my art and my therapy. It brings me joy to make stuff… I design based off of emotion and how I feel, and what’s going on in my community around me.” — Pierre Davis, No Sesso*

That community will meet at the Getty Center on Friday night when No Sesso debuts a site-specific presentation in the courtyard, joined by cellist and vocalist Kelsey Lu.
