Gimp Gait USA | 2016 | 5:06 Director and Choreographer: Pioneer Winter DP: Tabatha Mudra Sound: ABI-L-ITY, soundFORMovement, the performers Performers: Marjorie Burnett and Pioneer Winter Audio Description: David Linton "Gimp Gait" is a solo for two - surrogates to one another. The title of this work discloses its origin: ‘gimp,’ a slur meant to mark a weak or handicapped person and ‘gait,' the manner or style of a person’s walk. The subjects do not hide these from you - do you have a good view? Can you notice every part of their bodies - both the similarities and differences? This is Marjorie, and she wants you to witness her. This is Pioneer, and he is performing Marjorie’s power. SHORTS II - 9
