GIANT FIX (2005)

Staged in an empty outdoor swimming pool, GIANT FIX is a full-length dance for six performers. GIANT FIX was inspired by a personal, pre-sleep experience in which usual perceptions of scale and fixity are radically altered. Strategies of constant flux, hypermobility and extreme and oppositional vantage points were brought into the choreography. The location of the pool as site provides an environment for the action that supports one of the initial intentions - offering the audience dual vantage points to this skewed, underground performance space.

GIANT FIX was made with the support of the Chicago Dancemaker's Forum, for which Carrie was selected as a 2005 Lab Artist. Further assistance was provided by the Chicago Park District.
