Performance Space 122 presents Megan V. Sprenger / mvworks in the world premiere of their second evening length work ...within us. Set in a 360 degree hyper-intimate environment with audience members integrated among the performers ...within us. breaks through spatial boundaries, invades personal space, and examines the human instincts that lay at the core of physical and emotional conflict. Inspired by the images of violence in Jacob Landau's visual artwork and focusing on the repression that exists all over the world and across time periods, the performers act as both aggressor and inflicted. Creating palpable tension and relief, ...within us. continues mvworks' investigation of kinetic transfer through movement.
...within us. is choreographed by Megan V. Sprenger and features Tara O'Con, Maria Parshina, Alli Ruszkowski, and Richert Schonorr with Lighting by Joe Levasseur, Sound by Jason Sebastian, Set by Brad Kisicki, and Costumes by Mary McKenzie.mvworks, a contemporary dance company based in New York City, was founded in 2005 by Megan V.
