In ‘Two Girls Downtown Iowa’ two women rush toward each other on a crowded pavement at the slowest of slow-motion speeds. Summer creates a remarkable conflation of kinetic effect and almost painterly moment-by-moment composition. Interested in the processes that constitute modern dance´s vocabulary as a socially engaged artistic form of expression, Summers gives vision to the question of “What happens in that charged moment when a dancer activates a space?”
