#shift is an exhibition of original movement by Michigan choreographers, musicians and filmmakers. Concept premised on an original work of poetry titled, “Block Of Now” by Erin Wilson.

“I am still standing on concrete.
Even with my eyes closed, I know I am surrounded on all sides
by steel and marble and glass.
I can feel myself encircled in
the constancy of movement,
all around me, in every direction. Enveloped by sound:
the collective tongue
of anonymous voices,
the harsh screams
of mechanical noise.”
— A Block of Now

Music live-scored by
Paucity
James Cornish and Alex Koi

Choreography by
Amy Wilson
Hannah Sullivan and Darrell Haggard
Molly Ross
