About the project

not knot naught is an homage to Trisha Brown as she appears on the internet. We’re looking back as we move forward. Promoting connection among artists from diverse backgrounds, nkn explores possibility, permutation and limits within a container of assorted dance aesthetics. We are a three in a four world. A triangle in a square. We’re in search of ‘pure dance’, choreography that’s not tied to meaning- or story-making. The time has come for Post-Contemporary Dance!

Rehearsal Video

not knot naught, the newest work by Deanna Peters/Mutable Subject, introduces a dynamic blend of research-creation within a trio framework. With collaborating performers Sevrin Emnacen and Luciana D’Anunciação, Deanna continues to centre artists who are underrepresented in mainstream contemporary dance. Sevrin is an experimental b.boy and Luciana comes from a performance art/visual arts background. Additional support and guidance comes from inside eye Punit Singh and outside eye Helen Walkley.

Set within a low-tech, DIY environment, nkn is co-produced by Deanna and aka, with support from Odd Meridian and City of Vancouver. Building on research from summer 2023 and creation throughout 2024, we'll present our work-to-date at Dance In Vancouver 2024 programming at Morrow.
