Home Made mounts a daring exploration of the awkwardness of human beauty and the struggles of intimate negotiation. On stage, a male and female duo is accompanied by male and female live vocalists, interweaving music and movement. With sharp, aggressive choreography and an original score, Home Made explores the delicate balance between tenderness and hostility, where playfulness becomes manipulation and exploration shades into aggression.
Choreographer Angelle Hebert and composer Phillip Kraft founded Portland-based dance company tEEth in 2006. Their work is generated through deeply collaborative processes, blending original music and movement through melodic and conceptual mirroring. tEEth approaches the body with a singular eye for life’s beauty and dark absurdity, and combines technical virtuosity with raw impact.
tEEth has toured to On the Boards (Seattle), Joyce SoHo (NYC), Fuse Box Festival (Austin), and St. Ferdinand Church and Sidearm (New Orleans), and most recently won the Joyce Theater Foundation’s prestigious A.W.A.R.D. Show! at On the Boards. Their new work, currently in creation and co-commissioned by White Bird (Portland) and On the Boards (Seattle), will premiere in January 2012 at Lincoln Hall at Portland State University, and will tour nationally to pending locations.
Home Made was funded in part by a 2010 Regional Arts and Culture Council Project Grant.
“Home Made is perhaps the single most powerful performance piece to have come out of Portland in recent memory.” – Willamette Week
