As the curtain rises on (DT)2, the ferocious dancers emerge as fairy-tale creatures in the lyrically narrative Pilotąs Dream, morph into high-voltage conduits in the hyper-kinetic Charge, and finally cast themselves into the absurdist spiral of Wardrobe Spectre. www.dusantynek.org

For her first one-person exhibition in New York, French architect/artist Marie Sester navigates visitors through five ideal cities (Babylon, Jerusalem, Atlantis, New York, Paradise), exploring urban archetypes that have permeated the Western imagination for centuries. The five-channel video installation features a mesmerizing layering of x-rayed luggage and vehicles, aerial photos and architectural plans, sporadically interrupted by sound and light effects.

Generous support for this project provided by MAT Charitable Foundation.

Whose move is it anyway? In this game show, you shape the dance. After a group warm up and a contestant showcase, the audience suggests scenarios and sounds for volunteers and guest stars to improvise. So how would a kangaroo dance on a roof in the rain?
