The Chocolate Factory Theater inn Long Island City announces its new season.
First is Megan V. Sprenger / MVworks' FLUTTER, September 18-21, 2013.
Flutter is a new evening-length piece created by MVworks, a New York City-based Dance Company founded in 2005 by Megan V. Sprenger. Through the creation and presentation of Flutter, MVworks is pursuing a genuine performance style and exploring themes of individuality, vulnerability and compassion. Flutter also continues MVworks' ongoing investigation into kinetic transfer and how varying movement vocabularies connect audiences and performers.
Karinne Keithley Syers - Another Tree Dance is presented October 2-5, 2013.
Another Tree Dance is a project of reconciliation and renewal in the life of the artist Karinne Keithley Syers. An interdisciplinary solo performance, it creates a serene yet demanding meditation on a life commitment to open-ended process.
Tatyana Tenenbaum - Private Country is presented October 30-November 2, 2013.
"Private Country is a reconstruction of American musical theater through my subjective history, memory, and aesthetic desires. This is an embodiment of longing that smells like the great green grass of our pastoral dreams."
Will Rawls - The Planet-Eaters plays November 13-16, 2013.
The Planet-Eaters is a choreographic and sonic conversation between Balkan folk dance and contemporary dance that takes place in a hypothetical place somewhere between the United States, Serbia and the International Space Station. In this piece Rawls employs the language of rhythm and the rhythm of language as a means to encounter himself as a different kind of dancer and to engage with questions about belonging, nationality, war, loneliness, group experience and what we might all sound like from outer space.
Jon Kinzel - Someone Once Told Me I Was a Sound Man plays December 4-7, 2013.
Someone Once Told Me I Was a Sound Man is a physical and personal ensemble piece by choreographer Jon Kinzel. The work, featuring dancers Stuart Shugg and Simon Courchel with an original score by Jim Dawson, will examine aspects of disclosure and invisibility in dance and performance, enliven relationships between the body and space, and refuse to sit still inside any one medium.
