Dancenoise
New York Live Arts
December 12-15

As part of its Live Feed creative residency program, New York Live Arts presents the world premiere of DANCENOISE; Lock ‘em Up!, an evening length work, and collaboration between Anne Iobst and Lucy Sexton, who have worked together since 1983, and have “…created across genre and performed across venues, including nightclubs, experimental black boxes, theaters and museums. In response to the current political climate, the enthralling duo takes the audience captive, delving into their experience of living, resisting, and trying to hang on to a shared humanity in their signature no-holds-barred feminist stage show escapade.  Built on manic choreography, indiscriminate violence, biting up-to-the-minute social commentary, and precise comedic timing, DANCENOISE weaves movement vignettes with outspoken musings that at one moment incite motivation and rage and the next laughter and hope,” according to the release.  Find out more here
