The esteemed Crystal Bridges Museum in Bentonville, Arkansas has transformed a 63,000 square-foot decommissioned cheese factory into the Momentary, a multi-disciplinary space for visual and performing arts. AMOC is thrilled to be a part of the Momentary’s inaugural festival, TIME BEING, with two performances of A Study on Effort and pop-up recitals performed by KEIR GOGWILT.

A Study on Effort explores connections between sound, body, and duration. An hour-long dialogue between dancer BOBBI JENE SMITH and violinist KEIR GOGWILT, the piece transposes different physical and emotional tasks between music and movement. Efforts are supported and transformed in the exchange between gesture and sound, finding pleasure at the boundaries of the two artistic disciplines.
