In a newly commissioned performance, Growth: The Watch, Kevin Beasley and collaborators examine the constellation of human experiences in the Summer season, often referred to as the growing period in agriculture, through gesture, sound and movement. Back dropped by Proscenium | Growth: The Watch, the performance reveals the body as a steward, shapeshifter, and participant in the environmental conditions of the outdoors through the lens of sharecropping and migration.   

Performers: Kevin Beasley, Joy Guidry, Paul Hamilton, Kris Lee, Lysis, Mariama Noguera-Devers  

Growth: The Watch was commissioned by Storm King Art Center.
