Alive & kicking. [Part 1]
Description
This program showcases the work of New York post-modern choreographer John Jasperse. - When Jasperse makes a new work, it should be seen: end of story, says Claudia La Rocca of The New York Times. The program features excerpts from Jasperse's latest work Truth, Revised Histories, Wishful Thinking, and Flat Out Lies which was recorded in 2010 at the Joyce Theater in New York. The work, co-commissioned by The Joyce Theater and the Forsythe Company is a wacky, surreal two-act opus performed by Jasperse and 4 superb dancers and is an ideal showcase for the John Jasperse Company. The evening-length piece explores the often fluid boundaries between fantasy and reality, and features a commissioned score by composer Hahn Rowe performed live by musicians from the critically acclaimed International Contemporary Ensemble. Alive & Kicking is an ongoing video documentary series that showcases the dance & performance artists who are expanding the parameters of contemporary performance. Produced & directed by choreographer/performance and video artist Charles Dennis the series now features over 90 programs.
