RoseAnne Spradlin Dance: Rearrangement, under/world

November 6-8 (Thu-Sat) & 13-15 (Thu-Sat) 8pm $20
Post-performance discussion: November 13 (Thu)
Concept and Choreography: RoseAnne Spradlin
Dancers: Walter Dundervill, Athena Malloy, Tasha Taylor
Music: Gavin Bryars, Kenneth Atchley

Fetishism, ménages à trois, and autoeroticism-RoseAnne Spradlin continues to overtly explore sexuality and body politics with the premiere of Rearrangement and the restaging of her 2002 trio under/world. Since the early 90's, Spradlin has infused her work with a disturbing and beautiful rawness. "It's hard to know exactly what Spradlin's dancers crave—sex, peace of mind, attention, understanding—but their need for it is unswerving and terrible." (Deborah Jowitt, The Village Voice)

The creation of under/world and Rearrangement has been made possible with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts, a State Agency. under/world has also been made possible with funds from the New York Arts Recovery Fund/Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
