Will Rawls

Will Rawls is an American contemporary choreographer, performance artist, curator and writer based in New York City and with continuing projects in Europe. He has choreographed solo works and group works as well as danced professionally with established dance companies. He is also one half of the performance art collaborative, Dance Gang, with Kennis Hawkins.In 2017, Rawls collaborated with poet and writer Claudia Rankine on What Remains. Rawls and Rankine began to generate What Remains together after being recommended as collaborators by a mutual friend. Rawls entered the studio with two of Rankine’s works - 2004’s Don’t Let Me Be Lonely and 2014’s Citizen. The work included four performers: Tara Aisha Willis, Jessica Pretty, Leslie Cuyjet, and Jeremy Toussaint-Baptiste. Toussaint-Baptiste was also sound designer for What Remains. In the program for the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) in Chicago, Tara Aisha Willis (performer and Associate Curator of Performance for the MCA) described the work as asking: “In making What Remains, we are trying to imagine the state of being both living and already slated for death as a habitable place, a vast void or tundra where we use our voices and bodies to call ourselves into existence. It may be the ‘already-dead’ space, but it is ours, or at least a space where we are already accustomed to its particular discomforts.” What Remains premiered at Bard College, and has been performed at national venues, including Danspace in New York, the Walker Art Center, Yale Repertory Theatre, and, in December, 2018, Chicago’s Museum of Contemporary Art Warehouse Space.
