<p>Long Playing is a training, a tribute, a trial, a social gathering for bodies still learning how to be animals, fully together and lost in a crowd. Lincoln and Seiters oscillate between decisive action that is explicit, clear, and demanding, and a receptive stance that is patient, wide, and behind the scenes. Between making a stand and making space, they navigate the impacts and limitations of each of these modes. Viewers of Long Playing have found evidence of a mercurial relationship, a critique of capitalism, an unfolding ritual, and of transformation. It calls on fictitious guides, animal instincts, and a long history of making together.</p>
<blockquote><p>“While much of the pleasure of the piece stems from the cleverness in the choreography, Lincoln and Seiters’ seamless performance is the most satisfying aspect. They seem totally at ease in their bodies, as if it were just as natural to climb up a wall as walk across the floor. With an attic an exit, they have struck a perfect balance of precision, play, and masterful pacing that frames their choreographic images with an almost sacred aura.” Kaitlin McCarthy, Seattle Dances, 2016</p>
