Performance | Show, a Performance by Maria Hassabi


Show casts a focus on the elements of live performance in a bid to make them plastic and palpable. At the core of its exploration is a paradoxical condition that must be negotiated and resolved by any live work; the attempt to be present in a moment of expression, while existing in an awareness caught by a set of definitive frames. Existing beyond the frame of the theater, new parameters of performance will emerge as Show is set within the conditions of the open air, vulnerable to passersby and other variants.

Dance Performance | Electric Midwife, New Choreography by Beth Gill


Electric Midwife is choreographer Beth Gill’s most recent work. Premiering in 2011, it received multiple Bessie awards, and continues to be performed both nationally and internationally. Conceived from a fusion of concept and form, Electric Midwife is a performance of symmetry, in which six women form two trios that mirror each other’s movements with a kind of hyper-precision. The dancers’ actions create an intricately patterned tapestry in which the lines of their bodies trace the space and outline the two corridors within which they encompass.
