LeeSaar The Company Presents 'ONE DAY' 12/4-12/14

Renowned LeeSaar The Company present the new evening February at Annex Theater at La MaMa, December 4-14. Known for incorporating theatrical elements into their dance, February is the newest evolution in LeeSaar's productions - a seductive, aggressive, evocative evening with two distinct pieces. In February, the company will present two works: Little Island, a 30 minute play, and One Day, a 30 minute dance piece.

In Little Island, a cold winter day in New York City sets the stage as a woman touches on the meaning of loneliness in a surrealistic world. The original play, written by and starring Lee Sher, uses theatrical language based on the physical image method, stimulating latent senses and instincts.

One Day is a dramatic and compelling visual and cerebral dance performed by Jye-Hwei Lin (who performed in LeeSaar's Geisha) and Hsin-Yi Hsiang. Influenced by the Gaga training of Ohad Naharin, One Day uses explosive power and carefully crafted movements to develop awareness of body and space. The piece's oscillating rhythms and visceral energy are a mesmerizing response to Little Island.

Performance Space 122 commissioned and presented two works of the company, "Herd Of Bulls" and "Moopim." The company was invited to open the Harkness Dance Festival at The Alvin Ailey Theater in February 2007 with "Part II," and returned in March 2008 to present "Geisha."

LeeSaar The Company was established in Israel in 2000 by actress and writer Lee Sher, and dancer and choreographer Saar Harari. The company uses different disciplines and training to create original performances in theater and dance. Lee and Saar received the Six Points Fellowship for 2007-2009 and were nominated for the Alpert Award in Dance 2008. They are 2008 NYFA Fellows and 2008 Guggenheim Fellows.
