Description

Nothing #62: a bluff is the third part of Autumn Knights’s investigation into the Italian concept of “dolce far niente” – the sweetness of nothingness. Knight is alone, responding spontaneously to a space, its features, and its audience. a bluff is a deliberation on our economies of time, attention, and survival, and the creative role within those realms.  It works within the inexhaustible possibilities each audience member brings. 

At once compelling, confronting, perhaps funny, and awkward, this is a masterwork of new performance. Drawing from her training in theater and the psychology of group dynamics, Knight makes performances that reshape our perceptions of race, gender, and authority.

“Autumn leads with humor and curiosities in really incredible ways, …[a]t the end, seems like you have been cared for, even if you have gone through a few layers of complexity.” Ryan Dennis, ARTnews

About PS21

A vibrant center for contemporary performance in the Hudson Valley, PS21 “presents work that challenges and invites” (The New York Times): adventurous productions by leading and emerging American and international artists in music, dance, and theater, and visionaries creating entirely new genres. On our open-air Pavilion Theater stage, across our expansive, unspoiled grounds, and in the diverse surrounding communities, PS21 cultivates and presents productions that transcend aesthetic boundaries and revitalize existing artistic languages and grammars. Throughout the year, we host developmental residencies for dancers, musicians, actors, and creators of original, even unclassifiable new work. Rooted in community collaboration, PS21’s programming engages creatively with critical global and social issues. It is a mecca for innovative and original artistic voices, a destination for performance that can be experienced nowhere else in the region. PS21’s Pavilion Theater is a green-energy marvel surrounded by 100 acres of unspoiled meadows, trails, and woodlands that are a haven to wildlife and visitors across the region.  Integrated into our unspoiled campus, the theater embodies our commitments to the public: open, inviting, and optimized for their enjoyment and encouraging citizen expression and participation.
