Nichole Canuso Dance Company: Return Return Departure
One Performance Remaining:
- December 8th, 3:30pm, followed by closing reception -
Our December 8th performance will be followed by a closing reception at the APS Museum. Please join us for cocktails, small bites and good company! The reception will also include an artist discussion.
We look forward to seeing you there to celebrate the successful run of Return Return Departure at the APS Museum.
The December 8th ticket price includes entry to both the performance and reception.
Just before sunset, two dancers meet in the garden and a duet unfolds. Both dancers wield video cameras, filming their individual experiences from the inside of the dance, resulting in two distinct versions of the event. After each live performance, the resulting videos are posted in the gallery, side by side, accumulating new material with each new performance. The evolving videos reflect changes in the weather (wind, rain, budding trees, falling leaves), document the new bodies of the audience, and represent the energetic shifts of the dancers who embody the passing of time. The audience will witness both the live unfolding of the dance in the garden and the resulting videos displayed in the gallery.
This dance meditates on the human desire to map, track and record our existence, to reflect on the past, understand the present, and pass something on to future generations. Canuso performs alongside dancer John Luna.
Run Time: 40 Minutes
"RETURN RETURN DEPARTURE is heady and exquisite, moving and evocative. It's a show that you'll want to see evolve over time, so plan to visit more than once, as the summer turns into autumn and the videotapes accumulate." -Deb Miller, Stage Magazine
