The semi-annual food distribution benefit series Food for Thought features guest curators who have selected innovative emerging and established choreographers to present wide range of dynamic performance while benefiting the In-the-Bowery food program.
Tonight features Patti Bradshaw, David Neumann, Lake Simons, and Basil Twist.
Bodies or objects, what's the difference? It's still choreography. Choreographer and puppet artist Christopher Williams has asked four puppet artists to choreograph short works for dancers, puppets, and/or objects.
Patti Bradshaw presents Out of Nothing.
In Tough Redux, David Neumann recreated selections of Tough, the Tough, which originally premiered in 2005. He re-imagines this piece for puppet, person and voice. Text by Will Eno, sound by Hal Hartley Jane Shaw and Neumann.
Choreographer Lake Simons presents Wind Set-up, a dance between objects and people. Ordinary everyday objects blown around by the wind. They settle one by one. And one by one the person uses them. A simple formula for daily living set into motion by the random placement of objects brought by the wind. Performance by Lake Simons, Yoko Myoi, and John Dyer.
In stickman, Basil Twist dances with his 18" bass wood partner of 18 years, stickman. In this duet, the human body is the grounded puppet stage, and the marionette is the soul in flight.
