Works by Michelle Ellsworth and Brian Rogers

The New York Times hailed Brian Rogers' dance film "Screamers" as "a movie that creeps to its own choreographic beat" and declared Michelle Ellsworth's work "eccentric and marvelously original art [that] defies easy categorization." In this year’s [UN] W.R.A.P., these two innovative artists come together to expand your definition of dance.

Created by Ondine Geary in collaboration with many others.

Radius of Transmission is a multidisciplinary, site-specific exploration of grief in three parts. It translates the strangeness of being-in-grief into new contexts, one that uses live performance, technology and installation to similarly dislodge audience members from normative states of experience.

(absent): Part II is a four-mile, site-specific drive that uses both the metaphor and means of radio technology to insist that, in grief, empty space is not nothing.

(abraded): Part III is a dance that shifts the frame from “those gone” to “those who go on” and proclaims grief as inextricably linked to living.

(absent) & (abraded): Parts II & III occur in sequence Wednesday thru Saturday, September 4-7, 2019. For more specifics and to purchase tickets, visit the ticketing site.

Co-created by Ondine Geary, Robin Salant, and members of the community.
