Continental Drift a concert of 5 dances with intricate physicality, music, and sculpture November 4 & 5, 2011, Friday & Saturday at 8:00pm CPR-Center for Performance Research, 361 Manhattan Ave., Brooklyn, NY
Chris Ferris & Dancers present Continental Drift, a concert of 3 premiere works and 2 repertory pieces in an evening of intricate physicality as dancers bodies carve out and reshape space, breaking apart molecules of air and perception. Choreography is by Chris Ferris. The premiere works are In Crease (duet), Settling Night Rising Storm (solo), Ants Standing Still Planetary Rotation (trio–full length version). The two repertory works are Clearing (quintet-2010) with ceiling to floor swinging sculptures by Warren Kloner and Where I Sit (solo-2006). Music composed specifically for each dance will include Chris Ferris & Dancers’ long time collaborator Loren Kiyoshi Dempster as well as new collaborations with Louise Dam Eckardt Jensen and Jake Sanders of WhaleHawk. The dancers defining and consuming space are Katie Aggen, Melissa Brading, Grace DiLorenzo, Chris Ferris, Haley Hauglum, and Kristen Mangione. |

Chris Ferris & Dancers with Loren Dempster CIRCUITOUS BODY - click to view Fri. Nov. 30 & Sat. Dec. 1, 2012 at 8:30pm Take Root Series at Green Space in LIC, NY 37-24 24th St., Suite 301 (2nd floor) choreography: Chris Ferris composer: Loren Dempster dancers: Erin DeLucia-Benson, Haley Hauglum, Kristen Mangione, Alexandra Rose, and Hannah Seidel musicians: Loren Dempster (cello), Leanne Darling (viola), Helen Yee (violin, yangqin), and Dan Joseph (hammer dulcimer)
Circuitous Body begins with what could be the ending and ends with a new beginning as perception of performance time is dismantled. Chris Ferris & Dancers and composer Loren Dempster collaborate on this non-literal narrative, creating a journey through time that holds you between the worlds of absolute form and personal body. Circuitous Body is support in part by the Mertz Gilmore Foundation Late-Stage Production Stipend provided via Green Space. |
