Knockout

Starring as “The Girls”

Erin Kilmurray

Kara Brody

with Corey Smith as themself.

A fierce duet between women, Knockout is a choreographic collage that slips between one stage or place and another. Built from cinematic landscapes, iconic femme-fight sequences, odd obsessions, self-defense training, and THAT girl, the work wields perception as it charges the space between attraction and danger, strength and survival, pause and action, and how we see and what we see.

Initially created as a 12 minute work in 2020, the piece is developing into a evening length work throughout 2025.
