Your Beautiful Grunt
It's not your fault that it was your rock I collided with, or your couch, or your life, Mary, that I was living. They call it chance, and I refuse to apologize.

Your Beautiful Grunt was developed in the Harold Clurman Center for New Works in Movement and Dance Theatre Artist-in-Residence Program (MAD-AIR), at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting.

"We've destroyed ourselves; we don't have time to haul shit
Thanks for the rescue."
-Holly Faurot & Sarah H. Paulson, August 2008
************************
Faurot and Paulson have been collaborating for the past six years on work that exists somewhere between the realms of performance art and dance and focuses on movement as a language of basic human interaction, whether it is through a subtle gesture or a theatrical spectacle. The performances relate to voyeurism, shifts in power-positions, and translation through different media. The temporality of installation art, contemporary dance, conceptual art, and video trends are all influences that inform their work. Joel Mellin has composed music for their performances since 2002.
