ABOUT THE WORK
seymour//dancecollective premieres Median, a work about race in a "post-racial" society. Using Al Young's poem A Dance for Militant Dilettantes and Ralph Ellison's novel Invisible Man as an entry point, the piece takes a raw approach to format, where text, music, and movement are all on equal footings of expression and precedent. The collective lays bare the central ideas and challenges for the audience to draw their own conclusions from our explorations/expositions.
Julia Jurgilewicz, in partnership with RedCurrant Collective, premieres her first full-length work, Dust, a mythical quintet for five women. The piece explores the convergence of her two passions: dance and fantasy fiction novels by using movement, in the format of a novel, to tell a story. Armed with sophisticated technical vocabulary, character commitment through gesture, a flair for understatement, and strong group dynamics, it aims to ignite an audience's imagination.
The People Movers premiere And He Saw That It Was Good, with music composed by Sontag Shogun. The piece takes its inspiration from Jose Saramago's novel Cain, as well as excerpts from the bible and modern-day stories about faith. It examines the idea that tests of faith are the supreme indicator of one's character and the basis upon which one is judged and then punished or rewarded.
BARKIN/SELISSEN PROJECT presents Skyfire, a collaborative event inspired by impressions of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, featuring choreography by Kyla Barkin and Aaron Selissen. Crafted to travel through a surreal rendering of space and time, this abstraction draws upon universal ideas and images surrounding love, betrayal, labor, and the pure joy of existence, set to an original score by James Guastaferro and Zac Selissen.
