Peak Performances
October 18 - 21

Gerring premieres field, the final installment in a trilogy of works commissioned by Peak Performances in Montclair, New Jersey. This third collaboration between Gerring, composer Michael J. Schumacher, and designer Robert Wierzel, follows glacier (2013) and horizon (2015).  “field conceives and creates an atmosphere in which the elements—movement, sound, and light—combine to envelope and engage the audience within the unique space and dimensions of the Alexander Kasser Theater. As in previous work, Gerring tests the physical limitations of her dancers; field begins with an extended quartet for the company's four males, during which each dancer remains fixed to a single point, surveying and testing the boundaries and possibilities of his relation to his colleagues. This structure breaks down as new configurations emerge, with the continuous spatial shifting of restless bodies remaining the one constant. Composer Michael J. Schumacher creates a sonic stagescape wherein the sounds of radios, TVs, and megaphones seem to to emerge from invisible sources while Wierzel’s kinetic lighting design enhances the immersive experience,” according to the release.  Find out more here
