but probably not

but probably not is the result of a collaboration between movers Tere Parkes, Birgitta Victorson, director Jon Sherman, and composer Kevin O'Donnell.

The piece looks closely at how authority is established, exposed, and lost as two women negotiate a menial physical task. Starting from concrete actions that are gradually transposed before the audience into dynamic movement, the piece unravels the process of creating metaphor and meaning. Using tightly choreographed movement alongside contact improvisation set to music provided by Kevin, Colin Bunn, and Jon Doyle, the two women listen, cooperate, struggle, and capitulate.

but probably not was presented as part of Equal Footing / Equal Earring, a festival pairing Chicago choreographers and musicians.
