Obie Award-winning director/writer Annie Dorsen (PASSING STRANGE) and choreographer Anne Juren will collaborate in July 2010 on 'Magical' - a solo dance piece that uses the frame of a magic show to deal with the possibility for illusion within dance. Blending choreography, magic, and quotations from performance artists like Carolee Schneemann and Karen Finley, 'Magical' blurs the boundaries between spectatorship and voyeurism, illusion and transparency, diversion and challenge. 'Magical' premieres at Impulstanz Festival in Vienna.
