Multi-media artist and performer Sarah Butler intricately weaves movement, live vocals, and wearable sculpture to undress themes of identity and transformation, highlighting the impossible situations we willingly create for ourselves. Straining both the body and voice in an attempt to access a raw, almost disturbing sense of vulnerability and beauty, the work features highly nuanced movement, dissonant harmonies, extreme physicality, an indoor forest, and the live layering of an original acapella sound score. Premiered 17 May 2024 at Jergon Gallery, Berlin Read the review by Apricot Productions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c704213fb22a526c753bea6/56bd2307-13ec-47f9-81fd-ce84753d443a/YOUCAN.jpg Performance - YOU CAN DO ANYTHING… YOU CAN DO ANYTHING WITH YOUR POWERFUL MIND is a duet created with Amie-Blaire Chartier exploring the satisfaction of bodies in unison. Set to a patchworked sound score of self-help tapes to foster confidence and success, the work follows two people as they embody the power of a positive inner narrative. Like the revving of an engine, the work builds tension steadily over time, growing from repetitive walking patterns and simple gestures to dynamic and precise movement.

Originally commissioned in 2024 by Wormfarm Institute for the Farm/Art DTour, visiting choreographer Sarah Butler works with local farmers, community members, and classical musicians to orchestrate a coordinated dance performance of farm machinery through the beautiful setting of rural Sauk County. Hayrake Ballet invites participants and audiences to consider that stewarding this land is a choreographed effort among many, and that a web of nuanced, creative decisions made by many have shaped, and continue to shape, our agri/cultural landscapes. Hayrake ballet is sponsored by Ruth Arts WI Special Projects Grant & Arts Midwest set to premiere in Fall 2026.
