For Gibney Dance Company’s season, works by Hilary Easton and Amy Miller will be performed, a first for the company after twenty-three years of performing works by founder and Artistic Director Gina Gibney. Easton’s The Short-Cut from 2005 “…is loosely based on the work of turn-of-the-century efficiency expert and factory manager Fredrick Winslow Taylor, examining the daily struggle to maximize productivity despite limited time. Miller’s premiere of Still and Still Moving uses Peter Swendsen’s electroacoustic score to ask: if the composite of two musical notes can create a third overtone, then what happens when two bodies converge?,” according to the release.
