DESCRIPTION
THE ACHE is the third installment of Allie Hankins’ five-part performance series of projects entitled, By My Own Hand. Developed in collaboration with Hannah Krafcik, THE ACHE takes shape as 1) a video exhibition, 2) a publication release, and 3) a series of free intergenerational art-making workshops facilitated by local artists dee bustos, Muffie Delgado-Connelly, Midori Hirose, and Ralph Pugay.
THE ACHE calls attention to the myriad of ways selfhood can be constituted and remixed through creative acts of self-determination, exploring the tension between points of distinction and gradients of interrelation. It was conceived out of a desire to create more crossover between artistic field-based microcosms, to share knowledge of mediums, explore overlaps and divergences across practices, and to embolden artistic exploration of self by anyone at any age.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Allie Hankins is a dancer, performer, and performance maker currently working and residing on the unceded lands of the Multnomah, Cowlitz, Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, Clackamas, and many other tribes, also known as Portland, Oregon. She is an inaugural resident artist and current steward of FLOCK Dance Center, a studio and creative home to Portland’s experimental dance artists which was founded in 2013 by Tahni Holt. In 2014, Allie co-initiated Physical Education, a queer performance research cooperative/support group, with Lu Yim, keyon gaskin, and Takahiro Yamamoto. Physical Education hosts reading groups and lectures, curates festivals, and teaches workshops nationally. When not working on performances, Allie is learning American Sign Language and teaching aerobics.
Hannah Krafcik is a Portland-based interdisciplinary neuroqueer artist and writer whose work emerges from ongoing reflections on social patterning and censorship, (over)stimulation, perseveration, and intuition. Their practices span dance and new media. They often create performances and teach dance in collaboration with artistic partner, Emily Jones.
