Choreographers Nancy Garcia and Chase Granoff each premiere new works in this shared evening of dance.
In I need more, Garcia draws inspiration from tropes found in noise, punk rock, and rock’n’roll music as a source for movement material, tapping her own involvement in both the worlds of experimental music and dance. Coinciding with the release of and composed specifically around Garcia’s latest solo album, the performance offers the possibility of experiencing one, overarching choreography through both forms. Collaborators include Felicia Ballos, Xavier Cha, Robbie Cook, Eleanor Erdman, Danny Johnston, and Sarah White-Ayón.
Granoff's The Art of Making Dances uses choreography as a platform for the production and distribution of information. The piece transmits the performance work and writings of Doris Humphrey (The Art of Making Dances), Simone Forti (Handbook in Motion), and the films Le gai savior and One plus One by Jean-Luc Godard through a disjunctive montage of text, sound, and movement. The production begins with the creation of a book that will be released at the performance. Collaborators include Jennifer Sullivan, Jenn Joy, and Ei Arakawa. Special guest appearance by Kate Bush Dance Troupe.
Lighting design for I need more and The Art of Making Dances by Joe Levasseur.
