Chris Ferris & Dancers has been continually and unstoppably creating and producing new dances in the New York area for over 25 years. This is choreography based on an interest in exploring movement from a sculptural, dynamically varied, and emotional point of view. For the love of extreme physicality and its expression, action is created that transforms bodies and space. This movement has the potential to be composed as a painting or piece of music. Structures and designs may be intricate yet at the same time human as bodies are repelled, collide, and bound through space. |

This full evening, atmospheric and moving work is choreographed by Chris Ferris and takes the sculptural sets by Warren Kloner into hand and motion. These sculptures hang, swing, slash, glow, and illuminate creating ethereal forms, a forest of moving architecture, and corporeal presences. Original music is performed live and recorded by Loren Kiyoshi Dempster, Andrew Drury, & Jeff Kerestes. The dancers defining and consuming space are Katie Aggen, Erin Delucia Benson, Melissa Brading, Grace DiLorenzo, Dana Doggett, Haley Hauglum, Kristen Mangione, and Hannah Seidel.
