Description

For Erin Kilmurray and Kara Brody, “Knockout” began as a passion project before the pandemic in 2020. Through their combined experiences growing up with pop culture icons like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Charlie’s Angels, they found themselves intrigued and inspired by the femme fatale archetype. Through exploring their own lives and friendship, they created the hourlong dance performance “Knockout.” Intimacy, aggression, tension, desire, and softness all come together to tell a story that though is not linear in nature, and expresses womanhood in an original way.
