Event
New Works: Saifan Shmerer
RIGHT/LEFT BEHIND
SAIFAN SHMERER is geographically located in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, emotionally trapped between fantasy and logic and psychically road-tripping between matter and the moon. She and her work are concerned with âthe state of thingsâ in any and all of the following departments: the world, love, dreams, the economy, drag, academia, gynecology, language, history/herstories, sex, imaginary domains, time, power, (mis)representation, performativity, sugar and bodies. Saifan graduated from Eugene Lang College in May 2008. She was the 2008-09 recipient of the Van Lier Fellowship at Dance Theater Workshop. She is currently performing and perambulating under the moniker SASSON.
RIGHT/LEFT BEHIND is a recipe for splintered wholeness, an antidote for easy-bake love and a quick-fix for real-hard hurt. Through smashing movement, savory text, sugary pop-culture innuendo and exquisite sets and props, the work dissects common tropes of individuality, independence and separation, and stirs us back into the doughy batter of âhow we really feel.â RIGHT/LEFT BEHIND is directed by Saifan Shmerer, and choreographed in collaboration with performers Lillie DeArmon, Cory Antiel and Emily Skillings. Original score by Cecilia and Panda Teeth.
NEW WORKS presents the new work of emerging choreographers and facilitates dialogue through feedback sessions and Q&A. New Works is curated by Alexandra Albrecht and Jeso O'Neill.
