Drozdowski, a curator of performance, will host European duo Jonathan Burrows and Matteo Fargion for a two-week retrospective of their collaborative career. The pair's complex, virtuosic works combine movement, text, and sound, incorporating humor and wit while retaining a predominant sense of formality. Drozdowski will present eight performances from Burrows and Fargion over two weeks, reflecting the arc of their 13-year collaboration. She will also publish a catalog that serves as a "living archive" of the artists' careers, featuring essays, photos, scores, interviews, and commentaries. Respected across Europe as educators, Burrows and Fargion will conduct a series of workshops for local composers, choreographers, dancers, actors, and directors. Bowerbird, a Philadelphia organization dedicated to experimental music and related art forms, will co-produce the June 2015 performances.
Additional unrestricted funds are added to each grant for general operating support.
