Love you, moon
BLiPSWiTCH Presents
and evening Length work by
Anna Bauer & Jairus CaRR

El Cosmico Contained | Austin, TX

“The dance, seen from a perch atop a tricked-out shipping container plunked in a remarkably still-wild residential lot in East Austin, is a whole world. This world is lovely, complex, and free. It has rules, patterns, and rituals, sounds, fluids, and breath. […] The world, in this example, is that of Anna Bauer and Jairus Carr’s Love you, moon, and it’s oriented by a kind of lunartropism. This world is the way the choreographers and their collaborators choose to light the floorboards, to gather and separate, to anchor themselves in space and time and in relation to our moon. Their choices, collective and singular, past and present, are the subtle centripetal force by which the world hangs together.”

- Jonelle Seitz, The Gym No. 24: Vigilantes
