Art and everyday life flow seamlessly together for Nicole Livieratos, a dance and performance artist who’s been on the Atlanta scene for about 20 years.
Her upcoming work, Folding: anticipatory, routine, closure, will investigate how we fold things, big and small, into our lives. The work also represents a literal folding: Livieratos is dissolving her company, Gardenhouse Dance, and will function as an independent artist. This move will free her from the constraints and audience expectations that surround the word “dance.” It will allow her to pursue a curiosity she’s had for the past several years about the potential of blending performance with visual art installation.
Folding, in its first draft, will feature dance artists Celeste Miller, Kim Kleiber and Erin Weller Dalton, and run continuously from noon to 3 p.m. Friday and Saturday in the lobby of Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia. A Q&A will follow each showing.
