December Events Announced at The Invisible Dog

The Invisible Dog will present the renowned Yvonne Meier, who has transformed the main gallery with "The Shining," an installation and dance piece of profound intention.

On the third floor, Te llum's interdisciplinary performance brings together text, movement, and music, and our social calendars would simply not be complete without the inaugural annual Wassaic Project Holiday Cheer Mixer and Art Matcher: don't you want to art-party for a good cause?

If your tastes run (slightly) more sedate this month, come to the second Cine Club event for an evening of great film and delightful conversation. At The Invisible Dog, they are bringing 2011 to a close with exactly the right mix of elegance and whimsy.

DANCE

DECEMBER 13-23
THE SHINING - YVONNE MEIER
Originally created and performed in 1993 at Performance Space 122 and reconstructed in 1995 at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, The Shining by Yvonne Meier is a dance-installation work full of thrill and fearful anxiety. It speaks of experiences at once sought and avoided - how do we hide from fear, play with thrills and terrors? How do those emotions excluded from consciousness play with us?
