Confused Blood (혼혈), directed by James Cutler, depicts a mixed-race Korean man wandering Seoul trying to make sense of his place in the world in a film that considers cultural identities and navigates an in-between space of documentary and narrative. James Cutler is an Utah-born director, writer, cinematographer, and composer whose works focus on exploring identity and origin through surreal, narrative fiction.
Hunter Rowe and Becca Speechley will perform a piece entitled Thank you for watching. Hunter Rowe and Becca Speechley are multidisciplinary artists based in Salt Lake. After attending the University of Utah's modern dance program together, they have sporadically explored what it means to casually create as friends. Previous collaborations include: “Our right hearts”; a tender piece presented at Queer Spectra Arts Festival in 2022, “Velcro straps and cereal box prizes”, and an untitled work that involved doing donuts in a parking garage and chugging Capri Suns. In our creative practices we are dedicated to testing the limits of time based performance and we will likely keep trying to find out what that means.
12 Minutes Max is dedicated to the memory of our dear friend and colleague Paul Reynolds: artist, librarian, and patron of the arts. 12 Minutes Max is a curated monthly performance series featuring experimental short works by local artists in many different disciplines, including dance, music, film, and more. Each piece is followed by a Q&A with the artist. 12MM is modeled after the program originated by On the Boards in Seattle.
This event takes place on the third Sunday of each month.
