The Fifth Ward venue will be the site of this week's production, 'adaptar: stories of adaptation.'
Group Acorde in rehearsals for 'adaptar: stories of adaptation'Human adaptability, be it biological or behavioral, lies at the heart of Group Acorde’s upcoming performance of contemporary dance and experimental music, which will premiere this week at a venue that has, fittingly enough, experienced a transformation of its own.
Titled “adaptar: stories of adaptation,” the hour-long program, funded in part by the City of Houston through the Houston Arts Alliance, will feature two new works followed by a talkback with the artists, aligning with the ensemble’s mission to engage and educate diverse audiences. In the second half of the show, the premiere of “Neuroception,” a collaborative work that welcomes Mabus and Gavin Hering into the quartet’s creative process, will bring a more abstract world to life centered around Polyvagal Theory . In simple terms, the theory, developed by Dr. Stephen W. Porges in 1994, suggests that the state of the nervous system determines how people navigate daily interactions and respond to their perceptions of safety and danger.
“I’m not coming out of the pandemic wanting to tell a personal story, so I really liked the idea of taking this more scientific approach, but when you get down to it, it is actually very personal,” McGill said. “One of the things that the podcast talks about, and it’s cited in the research, is that 80 percent of the information in our nervous system comes from our body to our brain, and I just love that as a dancer. I think so much about how my brain is telling my body what to do.
