Dixon Place Closes CONFINED 9/25
By: BWW News Desk
As part of the upcoming fall dance events at Dixon Place, dancer and choreographer Emily Berry will present her latest work Confined, a Dixon Place Mondo Cane Commission, Fridays and Saturdays, September 10 - 25 at 7:30pm.
Confined is an evening length work that infuses dance, music, spoken word, and video and uses each medium to explore both personal and societal issues of confinement, including issues of race, immigration, and homophobia. The piece pulls the audience though the personal stories of confinement and brings to light these seemingly individualistic concerns on a universal scale. Through presenting personal stories of confinement in a pulp-fiction manner, all intermingled, the aim is to be able to make intimate human connections with the larger societal structures that create the personal confinement. The approach of Confined is based on the belief that art has the power to create change.Confined was commissioned and first presented by Dixon Place in New York City with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, a State Agency, and the City of New York Department of Cultural Affairs, and with private funds from The Greenwall Foundation, the Mertz Gilmore Foundation and the Jerome Foundation.
The company is raising funds through Kickstarter to pay for production expenses associated with the show. Visit http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2137374090/confined-an-explosion-of-music-dance-video-and-spo to contribute.
