Bloowst windku: Rebecca Davis “The work bursts at the seams with powerful images and movements…”— THOM DONOVAN, BROOKLYN RAIL Bloowst windku [bloom-twist-windmill-haiku] is an hour-long performance for three dancers in which sound, light, and movement are compositional equals. Within a glowing room constructed from hundreds of used security envelopes collected over three years, the familiar is rendered strange as the performers shift with dream-like logic from basic pedestrian movement to highly abstracted forms within an equally mutable sound score by Zach Layton, and lighting design by Kathy Kaufmann.

Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind Same time each week. Different show each week! With its ever-changing “menu” of plays, Too Much Light… is an attempt to perform 30 plays in 60 minutes—an original concept by Greg Allen. The audience is fully part of the act, deciding the order that these plays are performed. Each week, these plays shift as ensemble members add new plays to the existing body of work. The single unifying element of these plays is that they are performed from a perspective of absolute honesty. Read more about what it means to be a “Neo-Futurist.” Please note: May contain adult themes Visit nyneofuturists.org for more info! Click the dates for tix: The Kraine Theater |
