Pam Tanowitz: Untitled (The Blue Ballet)
All tickets for this show are sold out. There is a waiting list available which begins at 7pm in person at the Box Office on the night of the performance.
Choreographer Pam Tanowitz collaborates with renowned
new music ensemble FLUX Quartet, putting
her new choreography to avant-garde composer Morton Feldman's challenging String
Quartet #1. In keeping with the composition, Untitled (The Blue Ballet)
reduces ballet steps and traditional signifiers to a new kind of language
steeped in questions of presence and absence. At the same time, Tanowitz’s work
digs deeply into the lives and histories of its classically trained performers
to reveal the layers of personal experience behind every phrase they dance.
Featuring Sasha Dmochowski, Jean
Freebury, John Heginbotham,
Brian Reeder, and Ashley Tuttle. Lighting and set
design by Philip Treviño. Costumes by Karen Young.
