As part of Dance Now's new ENCORE series, the collaborative trio LMnO3 (Deborah Lohse, Cori Marquis, and Donnell Oakley) returns to Joe's Pub with its acclaimed work B.A.N.G.S.: made in America, a kaleidoscopic pageant of status, attention, categorization, and femininity. Shape -shifting in style and identity , the dancers explore what they are and aren't qualified to do. Serious play and creative instincts rule as the trio obsesses over the ideas behind B.A.N.G.S., a mnemonic device frequently used by French-language learners to remember which adjectives go in front of a noun: Beauty, Age, Number, Goodness, and Size. Utilizing hard rap, body percussion, a game show, and the power of female relationships, this comedic trio sets aside its own fear and doubt, beginning to repurpose how we can unapologetically wear our own B.A.N.G.S.
