May 10

Pace will reprise between wave and water, a site-specific performance rooted in contesting and reclaiming the history of an African Burial Ground in Hunts Point, the Bronx.

A contemporary Bronx Trickster character leads the way, colliding our present realities with the pervasive yet irretrievable past.

Anna Sperber
The Chocolate Factory
May 7-10

Sperber will present Beacons, an evening-length dance that "continues her investigations into the tension between exacting formal clarity and a visceral wildness, mapping the intersections between desire and care. Through movements that are at once driving, soft, and precise, Beacons seeks an exuberant and expansive generosity of space, feeling, volume, and light; luring its audience toward a heightened sense of our collective rhythms and shared environments. An immersive, saturating sound score (by experimental electronic musician Lea Bertucci) and atmospheric lighting (by Madeline Best) create striking perceptual effects in response to the architecture and the bodies it contains; complicating distinctions between body and space; and challenging the limits of our common awareness, both real and imagined," according to the release.  Find out more here
