Failure and disappointment, success and recognition—what do each of these circumstances feel like, and how do they change us? In “Pick Me (Apart),” Albuquerque-based choreographer, dancer, and writer Emmaly Wiederholt navigates the treacherous psychological terrain of success and failure in a 25-minute performance piece that draws on both her classical training as a dancer and her interest in experimental dance. “Pick Me (Apart)” comes to No Land for its Santa Fe debut on Saturday, November 9th at 8PM, followed by a matinee performance on Sunday, November 10th at 2pm.
In “Pick Me (Apart),” Wiederholt enacts the long-term and daily struggle to be her best self. “I was thinking about the phenomenon of when a person has a stated goal or ambition, but somewhere along the line an inner monster sabotages that goal,” Wiederholt says. “It could be something like quitting smoking, or weight loss, or even just the goal of, ‘I want to be better!’ It’s something most people can relate to on an individual and sometimes daily level.”
