Gary Hill, Meg Stuart & Damaged Goods
Splayed Mind Out

December 2-5 [Wed-Sat] 8:30 pm $ 20

"The most radical questioning of human identity and its possibilities...Meg Stuart and Gary Hill have made a masterpiece."
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Germany

A dramatization of the misunderstandings and impasses of communication. MacArthur award-winning visual artist Gary Hill and American choreographer Meg Stuart, with her Belgian company Damaged Goods, crossover the boundaries of visual arts and choreography to work "from the body out." The culmination of a three-year collaboration across two continents, Splayed Mind Out   is a multi-layered, fragmented tale about being and viewing, physicality and language, and the emotional spaces residing between gestures. Radical and spellbinding.

Michael Moschen
On the Shoulders of...

December 9-12* [Wed-Sat] 8 pm $22 ($27 w/ticket for Hybrid No. 19)

"Moschen tosses and bounces juggling balls like a particle physicist testing celestial mechanics."
¬Glenn Collins, The New York Times

The most innovative juggler in history, and the only one ever to receive a MacArthur "genius" grant, Michael Moschen offers amazing visual feats, looking for patterns of chaos and order while meditating on the nature of motion. An illusionist, an animator of objects, a dancer/physicist as well as a kinetic sculptor, Moschen juggles with ideas and emotions, not just things, bending and twisting objects until they seem to assume a life of their own; sensual, humorous, and magically poetic.

* Dec. 10 [Thu]: Followed by informance (dialogue with artists)
