PULL/DRIFT: In the Slipstream
Gallery CA will present a collection of photographs, video, and film from the sculpture-dance performance Pull/Drift – a collaboration between choreographer Clarissa Gregory and sculptor Joshua Wade Smith. For six months, Baltimore photographers/filmmakers Liz Donadio, Carr Kizzier, and Margaret Rorison documented the evolution and execution of this site-specific performance, and in this exhibition will share their personal visions of the Pull/Drift process, an immersive “experiment in movement, rhythm, and ritual.”

The project is supported by “Best of Baltimore” dance company Effervescent Collective and friends. Their site-specific performance took place Sunday, September 8th at Patapsco Valley State Park’s Daniels Area. “At an arm’s reach from the city, the 45-minute experiment in movement, rhythm, and ritual created a reflective space for performers and audience alike, releasing a collective exhalation on one of the last perfect late summer afternoons.”
