May 12 – 13
This version of Kotze’s What will we be like when we get there, a “…new interdisciplinary dance performance, created and performed [with] long-time collaborators dancer/choreographer Netta Yerushalmy, visual artist Jonathan Allen and composer/musician Ryan Seaton,” is a work-in-progress. For the full evening-length production which will premiere at New York Live Arts, March 28-31, 2018, Kotze promises that by “Treating various locations as collaborators, the work [will] explore physical, emotional and artistic spectrums while reflecting on the desire for intimacy and greater impact - on place, people, and each other. As our lives continue to be dependent on and are driven by media, Kotze is interested in bringing attention to our humanness - our desires, flaws, strengths and fantasies - through a multi-disciplinary lens,” according to the release.
