THEATER FOR THE NEW CITY
March 28-30
The Wendy Osserman Dance Company brings the premiere of Vestigal using “...the premise that the dancers have only now found themselves with human bodies. [Osserman] likes thinking about movement in ways that circumvent the idea of style and finds experiencing the unfamiliar and contradictory to be enlivening,” according to the release. Dance writer Eva Yaa Asantewaa once described Osserman as “…wiry, heartful, still dancing at the helm of a group of youngsters…[and] a direct link to great masters of American dance history: Martha Graham, José Limón, Louis Horst, Anna Sokolow–she has studied with them all and more.” For Vestigal, the performers are: Lauren Ferguson, Cori Kresge, Emily Vetsch and Osserman. There will also be live music performed by Skip La Plante, co-founder of Music For Homemade Instruments. Find out more here
