Nestled somewhere between performance art, a rock show, and an one-act opera, Ian Andrew Askew hurdles through an hour of music, movement, and text celebrating the absurdity of explaining Black people’s participation in their own culture. “If I was black and normal I’d still get fucked with, so I might as well do what I want to do and just take my chances.” -Marlon Whitfield, Another State of Mind (1984) [Live EP on Bandcamp] SLAMDANCE garage, 2025 The Bushwick Starr produced in association with Oye Group created and performed by Ian Andrew Askew movement direction by Justin Allen production design by Cheyanne Williams sound design by Anthony Sertel Dean lighting design by Itohan Edoloyi costume associate Noah Willis-Hogan stage manager Sydneii Colterassistant stage manager Malena Loganaudio description by Shara Lunon line producer Alverneq Lindsay photos by Maria Baranova work-in-progress showing (2021) presented by Towards A New Collectivity: The Performing Garage in partnership with Kaneza Schaal // supported, in part, by a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant // design by Cheyanne Williams and Gabriele Preston // additional support from David Glista, Andres Abenante, and Camila Ortiz presented in progress as SLAMDANCE basement, 2019 Arts @ 29 Garden design by Gabriele Preston support from James Stanley and Andrew Gitchel <img width="5476" height="3652" width_o="5476" height_o="3652" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d9e9403514cc09b3f742085743c005785ab3fc2c304b2c0f1dd21602d5dbc10f/SLAMDANCE_garage_Baranova-15.jpg" data-mid="226260227" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d9e9403514cc09b3f742085743c005785ab3fc2c304b2c0f1dd21602d5dbc10f/SLAMDANCE_garage_Baranova-15.jpg" /> <img width="5476" height="3652" width_o="5476" height_o="3652" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1561b30af11b46fca776942541c4cafb7106db84986f442a5b70ae3b830b84f2/SLAMDANCE_garage_Baranova-31.jpg" data-mid="226260231" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1561b30af11b46fca776942541c4cafb7106db84986f442a5b70ae3b830b84f2/SLAMDANCE_garage_Baranova-31.jpg" /> <img width="5476" height="3652" width_o="5476" height_o="3652" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f6606f13a6e96cd8a213d4ae0f078bcc8e46dc160a72926ecaeac40e3d601ab0/SLAMDANCE_garage_Baranova-23-min.jpg" data-mid="235425877" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f6606f13a6e96cd8a213d4ae0f078bcc8e46dc160a72926ecaeac40e3d601ab0/SLAMDANCE_garage_Baranova-23-min.jpg" /> <img width="5476" height="3652" width_o="5476" height_o="3652" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7bd15dc2ceffac9012889c252fc7e989cab8946c360081a528c6de4c36a4eff8/SLAMDANCE_garage_Baranova-39.jpg" data-mid="226260232" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7bd15dc2ceffac9012889c252fc7e989cab8946c360081a528c6de4c36a4eff8/SLAMDANCE_garage_Baranova-39.jpg" /> <img width="5476" height="3652" width_o="5476" height_o="3652" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/20811c2c4caa74e9cf0300c1d6f796a650e64f2d0e33c285397542463cde8eba/SLAMDANCE_garage_Baranova-59.jpg" data-mid="226260234" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/20811c2c4caa74e9cf0300c1d6f796a650e64f2d0e33c285397542463cde8eba/SLAMDANCE_garage_Baranova-59.jpg" /> <img width="5476" height="3652" width_o="5476" height_o="3652" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/29a28b6677d7bd2401695ad4a519ff9c8786a59e7ef53097443035c34adfd7e8/SLAMDANCE_garage_Baranova-49.jpg" data-mid="226260233" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/29a28b6677d7bd2401695ad4a519ff9c8786a59e7ef53097443035c34adfd7e8/SLAMDANCE_garage_Baranova-49.jpg" /> <img width="5476" height="3652" width_o="5476" height_o="3652" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0cb1c6dd308f5ca34c370b1ba341a4103d2c7d00bd4890f288e5abad7babf913/SLAMDANCE_garage_Baranova-84.jpg" data-mid="226260237" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0cb1c6dd308f5ca34c370b1ba341a4103d2c7d00bd4890f288e5abad7babf913/SLAMDANCE_garage_Baranova-84.jpg" /> <img width="5476" height="3652" width_o="5476" height_o="3652" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9fc1ee39543f08984b2262e82ef60ae401e73380e70cc9d8f51fc092fddfdf37/SLAMDANCE_garage_Baranova-85.jpg" data-mid="226260238" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9fc1ee39543f08984b2262e82ef60ae401e73380e70cc9d8f51fc092fddfdf37/SLAMDANCE_garage_Baranova-85.jpg" /> https://ianandrewaskew.com/Sorry-John-Henry-the-song-has-no-end Sat, 18 Nov 2023 03:34:27 +0000 Ian Andrew Askew | Artist https://ianandrewaskew.com/Sorry-John-Henry-the-song-has-no-end Sorry John Henry the song has no end is an experimental opera inspired by a 1940 production of John Henry which closed only 5 days after its New York premiere. The musical starred Paul Robeson in the title role alongside a notable cast including Ruby Elzy, Josh White, and Bayard Rustin. The project resurrects archival text, music, and images to reconsider stories of land, labor, and freedom that weave through the many renditions of the John Henry story, including the failed Broadway production. directed by Ian Andrew Askew // text by mace dent johnson // music direction by Joshuah Brian Campbell //&nbsp;scenic design by Cheyanne Williams co-created and performed by Dyani Douze, Eden Girma, Jasmine Wilson, Kiara Benn, Ian Andrew Askew, mace dent johnson, and Joshuah Brian Campbell // developed in collaboration with Khari Lucas, Gabriele Preston, Lauren Nicholson, Morgan Johnson, and Davóne Tines.work-in-progress showings: Baryshnikov Arts Center, 2022 // Hubbard Hall, 2023 additional development: Mercury Store // Wake Forest University School of Divinity // The Vineyard Theatre rehearsal images by Maria Baranova video courtesy of BAC <img width="5476" height="3652" width_o="5476" height_o="3652" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fbb2eaa4f8280f9c7292990bd60a9fe34ca9e4fdfccdfc3fef17c43cafdd7ea7/SJH_Baranova2.jpg" data-mid="197217497" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fbb2eaa4f8280f9c7292990bd60a9fe34ca9e4fdfccdfc3fef17c43cafdd7ea7/SJH_Baranova2.jpg" /> <img width="5476" height="3652" width_o="5476" height_o="3652" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/73020a615e2fb0e21226cc1bd7e257979b76185fc46fd0b656bc034f582b2b13/SJH_Baranova1.jpg" data-mid="197217496" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/73020a615e2fb0e21226cc1bd7e257979b76185fc46fd0b656bc034f582b2b13/SJH_Baranova1.jpg" /> <img width="5476" height="3652" width_o="5476" height_o="3652" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b706fbc7015f2a5232fbe593d34f144fbe96dab5ea4025fc2cc3d3b931abcb6c/SJH_Baranova3.jpg" data-mid="197217498" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b706fbc7015f2a5232fbe593d34f144fbe96dab5ea4025fc2cc3d3b931abcb6c/SJH_Baranova3.jpg" /> https://ianandrewaskew.com/SLAMDANCE-gymnasium-punk-lessons Sun, 18 Jan 2026 01:27:35 +0000 Ian Andrew Askew | Artist https://ianandrewaskew.com/SLAMDANCE-gymnasium-punk-lessons SLAMDANCE gymnasium (a.k.a punk lessons) is the third iteration in the SLAMDANCE series, continuing research on social dance, athletics, and violence.

Expansive movement, breath, and tactile fabric textures guide Victoria Lynn Awkward and collaborators as they carve space and transcend into joy, beauty, and pleasure, wading through the rifts and tangles of their efforts along the way. Crafted in collaboration with the dancers, Victoria’s choreography conjures new and ancient rituals of flight, weaving, and enacting love in community. Victoria invites audiences to stretch into the erotic as defined by Audre Lorde, a necessity for the realization of liberation in an often-vicious world. choreography by Victoria Lynn Awkwarddirected by Ian Andrew Askew music direction by Desiré Graham music by Eden Girma (aden) scenic design by Cheyanne Williams scenic associate Malena Logan costumes by James Gibbel lighting design by Itohan Edoloyi rigging by Jason Clemence rehearsal director Sasha Peterson performed by Dava Huesca, Diovanna Obafunmilayo, Justin Daniels, Maxi Hawkeye Canion, Sasha Peterson, and Victoria Lynn Awkward.
