Something's Got Ahold Of My Heart
Info
A performance in four movements, Something’s Got Ahold Of My Heart creates an onstage space where tumultuous and tender feelings of love hang thick in the air and six performers lay their bodies down and fight to keep their love alive. Drawing from interviews, found text, and seminal concert footage, Something’s Got Ahold Of My Heart wrestles with our desire to craft the perfect declaration of love, and the tension between the ideal and the reality of long-term commitment.
Something’s Got Ahold Of My Heart will be in development throughout 2012. See the "Tour" tab above for work-in-progress showing dates.
Something's Got Ahold of My Heart is created by Hand2Mouth's ensemble (Matthew Dieckman, Julie Hammond, Liz Hayden, Faith Helma, Erin Leddy, Maesie Speer), directed by Jonathan Walters, and features choreography by Allie Hankins, music by Hand2Mouth and Ash Black Bufflo, and design by Christopher Kuhl, Bobby Brewer-Wallin, and Efren Delgadillo Jr.
Something's Got Ahold of My Heart is supported in part by MetLife Creative Commons | Meet the Composer, The Regional Arts & Culture Council & Work for Art, the Juliet Ashby Hillman Foundation and Portland Actors Conservatory's PAC Lab Program.
