Danspace Project
Lloyd’s new evening-length work, Blackbare in the Basement, promises to “…transform Danspace’s sanctuary inside St. Mark’s Church into a site of fantasy and textural collage. Lloyd returns to presenting work in a theater for the first time since the pandemic, organizing his desires around choreographic and visual design, storytelling, philosophy, and various contemporary performance aesthetics.” For Blackbare in the Basement, “Lloyd divides an eight person ensemble into an amalgamation of solos, duets, and trios that are threaded together to produce experiences of calculated entropy and disorientation via an intuitive shifting of language and logic,” according to the release. Lloyd further explains, “Within the nuances of the movement vocabulary, there is an intuitive shifting of language and logic between the groupings which allows for experiences of otherworldliness.” Find out more here
