Stay tuned for upcoming performances! About Plow Like Hell: Holly Faurot & Sarah H. Paulson will perform Plow Like Hell with additional performers Justine Lynch and Meg Dellenbaugh. The 20-minute performance will accompany Joel Mellin's final piece of the hour-long evening. Mellin's 3-dimensional audio tornado will be controlled by the performers' breath. The audio installation/performance will be accompanied by a video of a woman (Katurah Hutcheson) stroking the wall behind her while making eye contact with the viewer via the video camera. Her powerful trancelike appearance waivers between sharp violence and tranquil remembrance. Plow Like Hell cuts through the powers of destruction via the minimal and quietly grotesque.

************************ Faurot and Paulson have been collaborating for the past seven 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.
