More about my project »
The Kettle is Always On is a 50-minute contemporary circus show created for black box theaters. The show will commence production in July 2025, and will premiere in January 2026 as the debut of the newly formed company Nolanders in collaboration with TENT House for Contemporary Circus. It offers an intimate and irreverent look at the ways we search for meaning in a chaotic world. Through handstands and acro-dance, two sisters reflect on their unconventional upbringing and the polarities that exist between them. Despite their diverging tendencies, ritual is what ties them together – to one other, and to themselves. Sometimes these rituals can border on the obsessive. Why do we still feel so tied to them? And how do we honor the rituals that matter to those close to us?
Lily is looking for: : "We are searching for a scenographer who is not only a designer but also a conceptual collaborator. Meaning someone who is excited by the idea of scenography as an active, transformative element of performance. Our ideal collaborator is someone who is eager to explore modular, portable, and shape-shifting objects that evolve throughout the piece through real-time interaction and implied or explicit rituals. - Interest in minimal but versatile design: objects with clear visual identity but capable of multiple configurations. - Experience with or enthusiasm for mechanical transformation (hinges, magnets, wooden pins, collapsible structures). - Aesthetics that lean toward handcrafted, tactile, functional objects over sleek / high-tech ones. We are looking for an artist that is ideally familiar with or open to circus, dance, or physical theatre environments where objects are manipulated live and integrated into movement."More about my project »
