John Jasperse John Jasperse
New York Live Arts
May 28-30
In the world premiere of Jasperse’s evening-length work, Within between, he “…seeks to both embrace and resist the habits of his own history, creating a cross-pollination or catalytic mating of sensibilities. In this way, the work emerges out of a space between seemingly mutually distinct terrains,” according to the release. Within between is “…Inspired by sourcing isolated formal attributes of movement, energy and structure, [where] Jasperse has drawn from both his historical work as well as from the broader cultural landscape. Many of these outside sources include known choreographic practices and styles—often focusing on how these practices constitute ensemble or community—as well as the physiological dynamics of social interaction. Movement undergoes a metamorphosis of de-familiarization and integration, as seemingly disparate starting points are addressed in tandem,” according to the release. Find out more here
