Welliver will develop a new work whose structures explore how performers do two things at once: starting and ending at the same time, being present and absent, being alone together (or maybe together alone), or the simple act of just doing two things at once – as a way to absorb and confront our current dilemma(s). The conflicts between doing and being twice at once open a path to investigate the many ways that intersection can find new possibilities in the well-worn legacies of abstraction.
