The Boundless "How to Draw an Outline" Premieres at the Muck
OC-based creative powerhouse the Assembly Dance specializes in choreography that’s often mixed with improvisation for unconventional spaces and events. Last November, co-founder/director Lara Wilson and dozens of the Assembly’s collaborating artists were integral to Elizabeth Turk’s spectacular Shoreline Project; they performed and assisted the 1,000 volunteers in executing the mass improvisation on Main Beach for Laguna Art Museum’s Art & Nature Fest.
In 2017, I first saw the company perform Recess, an improvised delight at the Westside Museum, filling the former sail-making factory with humor, gorgeous movement and more than a hint of mayhem.
Now, as 2019’s artists in residence at the Muckenthaler Cultural Center, Wilson and four dancers have been investigating boundaries while creating How to Draw an Outline, which debuts—and runs—for one night only in the Fullerton venue’s outdoor amphitheater, as well as devising a workshop called “Boundaries Practice.”
