Shane Larson – Happy Hour Artist

Shane Larson is a NYC-based creator; he was raised in Minnesota, where he received his early training at the St. Paul Conservatory for Performing Artists. He graduated from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, with a BFA in Dance and a minor in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Studies. He also studied at SEAD in Austria. Since living in New York City, he’s branched out to collaborate with punk musicians, film makers, improvisational music ensembles, and site-specific visual artists. He joined the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Company in 2015. Shane is also a multimedia video artist making collage-based work about memory and movement.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK:

How was your day off? is a movement exploration that attempts to capture and expand the small fleeting moments which compose each day. It refers to the day to day rituals which can come into proximity with or parallel one another, and how their inner mental pathways connect to outer pathways of the physical body.

IF YOU WERE A TYPE OF CANDY, WHAT CANDY WOULD YOU BE AND WHY?

“If I was a candy I would a Strawberry Bon bon, the kind with the classic metallic red and green wrapper; always strangely nostalgic with a surprisingly sweet inside.“

– Shane Larson
