“An evening of dance comprised of three distinct dances created by three acclaimed choreographers. This intergenerational group: Tendayi Kuumba (recently seen in David Byrne’s American Utopia and For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow is Enuf), Big Dance Theater co-founder Annie-B Parson (David Byrne’s American Utopia), and Guggenheim Fellow Donna Uchizono (State of Heads) have joined forces to interrogate our very human compulsion to move together in time. Each dance maker experiments with “getting big” both in scale and emotion, moving as one voice, as one body, and the necessity behind this impulse.
Co-commission with PAC NYC, American Dance Festival, Spoleto Festival USA and The National Center for Choreography at The University of Akron (NCCAkron).”
