Joe’s Pub at The Public
January 11 & 14

DANCE NOW’s encore presentation of Places Please!, an evening-length duet created and performed by longtime collaborators of Keigwin and Walcott KEIGWIN + COMPANY happens during the APAP season. “Places Please! is a zany trip with Keigwin and Wolcott through the final moments before the curtain goes up. The audience becomes privy to the anxiety and playfulness of life behind the scenes as if observing from backstage. The program celebrates and extends the creative relationship that served as KEIGWIN + COMPANY’s foundation during its burgeoning years. Presented as dreamscape and sonic collage, the work explores the parallel and intersecting paths of a dynamic creative process and relationship,” according to the release.  Find out more here
