(T)HERE TO (T)HERE, an evening length choreographic work, created in collaboration with Kay Rosen
at Lincoln Center White Light Festival 2016

World Premiere November 10-12, 2016 8pm at Baryshnikov Arts Center.

Liz Gerring dedicated this performance to Kazuko Hirabayashi.

 

Liz Gerring developed (T)HERE TO (T)HERE, in collaboration with visual artist Kay Rosen. (T)HERE TO (T)HERE  is based on a central couple whose journey is accompanied by  projected text arranged to create a visual space of words and color. Its initial structure was derived from independent solos built on the principle dancers Brandon Collwes and Claire Westby. The dancer's solos, coming together and moving apart, mirror the cyclical nature of our own relationships. Gerring intended this smaller scale work to be performed in a more intimate setting allowing the audience to experience the dancers as individuals. In development since 2014,  (T)HERE TO (T)HERE reflects a more personal subject matter whilst adhering to Liz Gerring's fundamental use of movement as the primary focus.
