Anicka Austin & Lev Omelchenko
Atlanta, GA
Filmmaker Lev Omelchenko and choreographer Anicka Austin are a collaborative team from “sunday morning at 7”.
“sunday morning at 7” was a collective of artists from varied backgrounds and disciplines who met weekly for improvisational and choreographed movement experiments in 2017 and 2018. Creative process was always open to the public, even in its final stages. Because of this, the collective performed for ROOTS weekend’s Creating Place: The Art of Equitable Community Building, Adult Swim’s Bloodfeast and the pop-up art collaborative Argha Noah as commissioned guests. The collective’s final live work, sanctuaries and fortresses, premiered at the Bakery (ATL) in May 2018. The narrative dance film based on the live work, “Birth of Pleasure”, premiered at The Plaza (ATL) in May 2019. “Birth of Pleasure” is an Official Selection of Blow-Up Arthouse Film Festival. The film has played an integral part in the collective’s ability to share stories with people from all over the U.S.
