Michigan-born dancer and dance researcher Nic Gareiss has been described as "the human epitome of the unbearable lightness of being (Irish Times) Though lauded for their status within their respective genres, in this new 60-minute duo collaboration Teicher and Gareiss blur boundaries and playfully transgress, exploring improvisation, song, and the idea of percussive dance.
