John Jasperse
BAM/Next Wave Festival
September 21-24
Jasperse returns to BAM with Remains, a new work that “…addresses the question of legacy by mining his own past works and representation of body movement in Western art history…[and]…confronts the question of what remains after a dance performance is finished and the stage is left empty. For this BAM commission, Jasperse looks back on Western artistic representation of the human body and movement, some of which are “sampled” into his choreography. He also mined his own past works for their continuing meaning. Remains is about the illusion of ego, the notion of a fluid boundary between the self and one’s environment—what we build through our actions and what we leave behind in our wake,” according to the release. The work is performed by Maggie Cloud, Marc Crousillat, Burr Johnson, Heather Lang, Stuart Singer, and Claire Westby, danced to a score by composer John King. Find out more here
