gifts

gifts, the latest evening-length work from the professional company, Shannon Hummel/Cora Dance, premiered in a sold-out 5-night run in January, inhabiting a 20 x 20 storage unit in Red Hook, Brooklyn's Treasure Island Storage Building. Back by popular demand, this November, gifts returns to TI for an even more intimate encore run that is a stark reflection on the self-imposed anxiety we create when we isolate ourselves from people and experiences we do not understand in the name of our security. In a "safe" white world (that is also blue), free from danger, with all needs met, gifts asks what we need to make us secure when we already have enough.
