Seraphim Airlines

by Cori Kresge

original sound score by Eric Pitra

Five dancers embody roles as supernatural stewards, charged with demonstrating and activating a protocol to keep humanity "safe” in the event of an emergency. Quoting gestures from airline attendant safety demos, infused with rigorous physicality and elevated by intentional precarity and risk-taking, Seraphim Airlines conjures an atmosphere that is equal parts uplifting and ominous.

Performed by Mariah Anton-Arters, Sienna Blaw, Miguel Angel Guzman, Cori Kresge, and Kristin Swiat

Seraphim Airlines was presented by Greenspace - Take Root Festival, Long Island City, in January, 2024
