December 14-15, 2017 8:00 p.m. County Prep High School (525 Montgomery St., Jersey City, NJ; enter on Bright St.) Beaten through with arrhythmia and percussive gesture, Loose Heart traces an inner landscape of longing. By turns solitary and unified, the trio of dancers delve into physical meditations and small, rough acts of violence before ultimately arriving at a more balanced peace. Characteristically, Halpern enriches the world with a variety of materials. Lines of speech and dialogue weave through the dance, matching the movement in weight and abstraction. In a predominantly dark world, dancers urge an unknown listener to cross into the light, and repeatedly offer the reassurance that the heart in question isn't broken, its just loose. The work is further defined by an overgrown green blanket, crocheted by Halpern, an evocative symbol of comfort that shape-shifts from ground to nest to tent to net, softening a fall or binding a body. Loose Heart features sound design by composer Elliot Cole, and is performed by Brooklyn-based artists Arianna Dunmire and Julia Galanski (Then She Fell), and Jersey City's Myssi Robinson (Kyle Marshall Choreography, Meagan Woods & Company). Loose Heart is t'he company's second major work, and it is supported by the 2017 Choreographers In Residence Program (CHIRP) at County Prep High School.
