VIA celebrates its 7th NYC season with three premiers.
Adrienne Westwood’s “ . . . ” is a duet featuring two dancers with 16 hand-crank music boxes sewn into their clothing. An exploration of time, memory, and childhood objects.
Dawn Poirier’s “Plus X.” Set to the music of Tom Waits, this kaleidoscopic duet loosely threads together time and various love stories, highlighting the threshold exchanges in and out of the infamous subject of love.
Katie Swords’ “Pick me” looks at five women and their attempt to reach potentially unattainable ideals. The work examines the obsessive nature of wanting to be (or at least seem) perfect and the desperate things we often do to feel a part of something “bigger” than ourselves.
Danced by Beth Edwards, Lindsay Lee, Kathryn Logan, Pamela Pietro, Dawn Poirier, Katie Swords, Jsiao Jou Tang and Sarah Zitnay.
