well as her past work, celebrates dance as an ongoing activity that occurs
sometimes publicly, and always in studio practice. The performers, from Boston
and New York, intersperse periods of silence with spoken word, unison with
improvisation, and music with metronome. The layering and complexity of the work
reflect the realities of learning, teaching, improvising, and creating dance
that challenge and elevate performers and viewers alike. The audience is free to
enter and exit throughout this four-hour event. Free with museum admission.
