as long as you want

Sheena McGrandles

© Anna Mirkin

The duet “as long as you want” by Sheena McGrandles and Eli Cohen is a choreographic study of lesbian temporalities. The work is inspired by a body of erotic fantasy literature – assembling a cross-temporal arch of female poetic voices. Ancient poet Sappho meets contemporary thinkers such as Anne Carson and Sara Torres, alongside kink and punk practices, including Shibari, gay shadow dance, and pogo. A personal exploration of desire unfolds in a pastel-coloured landscape, with patches of digital renderings and densely knotted denim structures developed together with the visual artist Anna Mirkin.Through intense physical connections and ambivalent sensations an ongoing choreography of fractured spaces of dis/attachment emerge. Together the performers' solo bodies meet and melt in a world of never ending waves, rough play, and figures caught in a horizon of want and longing. In this temporary cycle of swellings and throbbings, desire transcends its fleeting nature, revealing transformative, perverse, and polymorphous forces. Playful and engaging, "as long as you want" is a profound choreographic encounter with an impulse of moving toward someone who isn't yet close enough.
