“Came Up in a Lonely Castle” is a dance work that presents two performers, Angie Pittman and Anita Mullin, as autonomous beings who are alone and together, thinking and praying. Pittman uses sparseness and quiet as a performance strategy to arrive at a more complicated definition of Black expressiveness. “Came Up in a Lonely Castle” is created with collaborator and friend Anita Mullin. This work, performed by Pittman and Mullin, emerges from Pittman’s interest in Black quiet, Black nuance, and Black subtlety in performance as an act of resistance.
