MY SATURDAY NIGHT DID NOT GO AS PLANNED :)

ANT Fest
June 9, 2022
Ars Nova — New York, NY

Created by evan ray suzuki with the performers
Choreography by evan ray suzuki
Performance by Vann Dukes, Eleanor Lougee-Heimer, evan ray suzuki, and Scout Watkins
Lighting design by Vittoria Orlando

my saturday night did NOT go as planned :) was developed, in part, through an artistic residency at The Tank, a NYC home for emerging artists.
Additional research and in-progress development was supported by Sarah Lawrence College, Hunter Gause & Allison Morris, and Jenna Hamed & Tsohil Bhatia.

A playful send up of your local indie softboi and a reflection on the effects of the social internet and digital culture for us all. Butoh and gestural dance meets Taylor Swift and our iCloud archives. Through an increasingly scrambled collage format of precise choreography and found text, we attempt to re/deconstruct what it means that the thing we wrote over Messenger ten years ago can still be accessed in about ten seconds.
