New Moves

January 18, 2020 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Free

Join performers J. Bouey, Elena Demyanenko, Javier Padilla, and Marion Spencer in a community setting, as they share new work developed in their Gibney choreographic residencies at Mana. The performers showcase new ideas in the field of dance and engage in cross-pollination between creative communities in New York and Jersey City. The works interrogate a range of themes, from Demyanenko’s exploration of color and saturated light, through three solo works that combine to produce In welter, to Padilla’s dance theater work in the quiet of the wood, examining the mysteries of dreams and the hidden symbols that lurk within them. Spencer presents to love the rise, a developing dance exploring conscious femininity, ambition, liminal space, and transformation.
