Hand to Mouth is a dance company that functions as a social and sculptural system that experiments with intimate relationships and processes. The company was founded in NYC in 2020 by visual artist and director Deville Cohen with the support of PS122 Gallery. The props, set design, movement materials, and videos in Hand to Mouth are informed by architectural models, collage, and jigsaw puzzles. The project looks to the symbolic meaning of the phrase “hand to mouth” and its reflection on material hardships. For the exhibition and performance series at PS122, the month-long installation is open to the public while serving both as an exhibition and a rehearsal space for a group of three dancers. A series of public workshops and events are presented in conjunction with the project, and the exhibition concludes in a weekend run of performances.
