Chris Ferris & Dancers |
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. |
