About

Deliquesce

Created by And Artists & Blank Space, Deliquesce, is an anthology dance film compiled of six chapters of abstract imagery and storytelling made in collaboration with 6 choreographers from around the nation, and 8 dancers from Salt Lake City, UT.

This film was built in an effort to continue creating art when live performances were not possible, uniting otherwise isolated artists to work together during a pandemic.

In 2018 Rebecca Aneloski founded And Artists as a sanctuary movement space, gathering freelance dance artists in Salt Lake City to research movement and work in a creative process.

The name And Artists exists in satire to highlight the unethical and dishonest practice of choreographic attribution in collaborative dance making, misrepresenting the creative process and movement generated by the performing artists in naming only one choreographer, occasionally following that choreographers name with “and artists.”
