Susan Share's New York premiere of Box for a Brighter Side, a performance piece with fold-out sculpture took place at the Henry Street Settlement on May 3. The piece, a collaboration with choreographer Stormy Brandenberger, begins as a large suitcase-like box and is gradually unfolded to reveal brightly colored collage panels, life-size screens and pop-ups which spread outward, upward and across the floor. This abstract movement work brings sculpture into the performance arena to be revealed as a tactile, visual and mobile force.
