Chanticleer commissioned "close[r], now" by Ayanna Woods, in 2021. The source material for the work is an L.A. Times editorial from March 2020 detailing the reasons why theaters and performing arts venues should “close, now.” Woods restructured and resampled the article to create a new text that highlights the changes we had to make to connect to one another during the pandemic. Through isolation and distance, we were forced to “hone the dexterity of love” and to be creative with how we care for each other. Woods closes the piece with an imperative for the world: “come back to life.”
The commission was conceived in collaboration with director Richard Dent IV, whose work with commedia dell’arte masks provides the perfect visual companion for the composition. Masks allow us to hide, but that disguise can also act as a window through which we are free to reveal a more full and true version of ourselves. Filmed amongst Richard Serra’s captivating installation "Snake Eyes and Boxcars" at Oliver Ranch, "close[r], now" collapses music, drama, sculpture, and landscape into one unifying art form.
the point of ease is a window.
