MOVEMENT

MOVEMENT synthesizes over one hundred citations from an expansive range of dances across genres and cultures. It is a radical quilt of borrowed material that stretches the idea of pluralism until it almost snaps.The project features a new score by award-winning composer Paula Matthusen and is performed by dancers hailing from Korea, Senegal, Israel, Taiwan, and across the USA.

Premiered at Montclair State University in March of 2022.

Performed at the Suzanne Dellal Center for Dance, Tel Aviv, Israel in August 2022.

Producing Company: Los Angeles Performance Practice.

The development of MOVEMENT was made possible, in part, by the Maggie Allesee National Center for Choreography at Florida State University.
