7MPR Second Midnight Virtual Performance, Choreographer: Mignolo Dance, August 1st, 2020 Christine Abbate

7Midnights Physical Research: Themed Dance Theater

 

7Midnights Physical Research is dedicated to the exploration of 7 social issues: Class, Education, Ability, Sexuality, Race, Age, Gender. The Third Midnight Halloween Performance will take place on October 30th, 2020. Each Midnight Performance will cover two or more than three topics of these social issues through dance and music. Works will express one or more themes of the seven social problems aligning with  their thinking of dance and society.

 

7MPR Virtual Performance 2020

7MPR Themed Dance Theater-The third Midnight Performance will be on October 30 as a  virtual performance. Based on the situation of COVID, we decide to cancel any application fee during the pandemic, so we hope artists can join our performances with their indoor or outdoor  works, in this way, the performance will be more like a “ Muti-space performance.” Wherever artists want to showcase their works: kitchen, garden, garage, car, bed, table, floor, rooftop, bathroom or tub……, YES, there are many options and fun ideas come up with our strong artistry and wisdom during the hard time of COVID-19.  

Notes: If you also  want to share any video works you have done, like dance film, dance, song, poem, music work, please make sure they were made this year or recently. Videos made last year or before 2019 will not be the perfect option for the theme of 2020 as we are all experiencing different issues caused by COVID-19 now. Please directly send your video files to us via wetransfer, google drive, or dropbox.
