Annie Lanzillotto
November 12-14* [Thu-Sat] 8 pm $12
The down-home hoodoo of country, Cajun, bluegrass, and old Baptist hymns channeled through a soprano sax-driven interactive computer music system. Only the ghost of Hank Williams, Sr. can sort it all out, but it's up to composer/improviser Holland Hopson to conjure the spirits.
Sometimes comical, sometimes quirky, always riveting. Choreographer Jon Kinzel explores the expectations involved in the audience/performer relationship through] a new solo work, performed in an installation of his own design.
Massive, tragic, and poetic. Writer/performance artist Annie Lanzillotto delivers a lullaby and war story wrapped in one: How to Wake Up a Marine in a Foxhole. Who is a veteran of war, in a civilian world without memory?

"A round little bullet of a dancer...[with] the physical control and daring of an athlete."
Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times
In this fierce, harmonious rampage of unthinkable movement, Monson and Parkinson pare down to pure energetic relationships that transform physical states. From goofy to bitter, hopeless to fearless, pissed to virulently loving.
This event is made possible with funds from The Jerome Foundation, and a Choreographer's Fellowship from the New York Foundation for the Arts.
