PictureGerring's "Glacier"
The world premiere of Liz Gerring’s glacier
The Alexander Kasser Theater in Montclair, New Jersey
September 19-22

Commissioned by Peak Performances “…glacier signals a major new step for choreographer Liz Gerring. Larger in scale and choreographically more complex than her previous works…” 
 
“I began making ‘glacier’ with a series of gestures,” Gerring said.” “The simple strung movements, initially of hands and arms, transposing my ideas to a sequence of images. Gradually the work unfolded, gestures expanding into fuller body realizations, into a layering of movement as it gathered momentum. I really felt simultaneously both the solidity and the
evanescence inside the sound score as we developed the work in residence at the large space at the Kasser Theater at Montclair.” 
 
The multi-channel music, “Glacier,” is by composer Michael Schumacher, set and lighting by Robert Wierzel and costumes by Marion Talan.

Jessica Chen Project presents the premiere of 
Never was Broken: a dance through life and death and life 
Salvatore Capezio Theater at Peridance 
Saturday, September 21

An evening-length work, Never was Broken… is conceived and directed by Jessica Chen in collaboration with dancers, recording artist Dennis Diaz and choreographer Nicole Smith.  The cast includes company members Jessica Aronoff, Flannery Houston, Lindsay Hall, Sandy Shelton, Yahui Lu, Rafael Sanchez, Aslan Rolston and guest artist Norbert De La Cruz III

Says Chen, "Never was Broken: a dance through life and death and life examines the concepts of living, letting go of and recreating your life. This work is inspired by my horrific near fatal car accident in August 2012, which left me in a coma for 13 days. I've learnt to have faith in turning challenges into victories. It is clear that a slight
shift of perspective can change your world, because the idea of "being broken" is only one-way of looking at a situation or a person.”

Motley Dance and Center for Performance Research Presents
DRILL PIECE
Center for Performance Research
