Douglas Dunn & Dancers
Peak Performances
January 24-February 1
Dunn premieres Aubade which features pre-recorded and real-time video, lighting and costumes by avant-garde filmmaker Charles Atlas, poetry by Anne Waldman, and an original score by Steve Taylor. “Aubade is traditionally a song of morning; of awakening to the day with a quiet sense of the inexorableness of death. The dance, which could be considered abstractly autobiographical, is also an homage to, and exploration of the more vivid and rich perceptions we develop as we age and begin to confront our own mortality,” according to the release. Taylor and his three musicians will share the stage with Dunn’s nine-member company, which includes Dunn and six dance students from Montclair State University. Find out more ~ www.peakperfs.org
