Tangle presents all-new aerial dance: Tell It Slant

Tangle - Tell It Slant 2 - Mike Ermilio

Tangle Movement Arts presents Tell It Slant, an all-new aerial dance performance. Tangle’s nine-woman cast mixes traditional circus arts, like trapeze and acrobatics, with dance, theater, and spoken word, to explore female strength, identity, and relationships between women.

In Tell It Slant, seven women dance up and down a rope at a crowded party packed with friendship and drama. A dreamer finds herself in an intimate duet with aerial silks. Two best friends toss each other into the air. And a jilted woman flies on trapeze to exact her sassy revenge on the world. Tangle’s acrobats explore a wide range of relationships between women in Tell It Slant’s dynamic circus-theater.

“Our goal in Tell It Slant is to highlight diverse examples of female strength, and connections between women—portraying relationships that range from friendship to love, and support to antagonism,” says Tangle founder, Lauren Rile Smith. “From intricate solos to dynamic duets, Tell It Slant highlights the friendships and dramas in our interconnected communities. Tangle’s acrobatic partnering dramatically depicts the ways in which people can be supported, lifted high, brought low— or left hanging.”

Joining Tell It Slant as guest artists are Megan Gendell and Lauren Feldman, international, performing duo, trapeze artists from the celebrated New England Center for Circus Arts. They debut a dramatic new act which explores trust and freedom between two people in dynamic motion. Set design is contributed by artist Julia Wilson, whose fiber art sculptures transform the theater of Christ Church Neighborhood House.
