Performance

Dirt Birth

1 upcoming performance in New York

“Dirt Birth” arrives in New York City as a dance work currently playing at Berlin, featuring performer Carissa Johnson. Set in the context of a live event in the venue, it treats the body as an archive, tracing how grit, pressure, and repetition register in movement. The piece doesn’t lean on narrative; it builds meaning through accumulation and physical detail. If this marks an NYC premiere, it reads as part of the city’s ongoing interest in dance that tests where endurance ends and expression begins.
