Global Exchange (Denmark): KITT JOHNSON X-ACT Rankefod October 9*-11, 2008 • [Thu-Sat] at 8:30 PM Admission: $18.00 (members $12.00) Heralded as an "insistently original creature" (Information) and a "magical dance animal who continuously spellbinds the eye" (Berlingske Tidende), Denmark's Kitt Johnson performs her acclaimed solo for New York audiences. Rankefod, Johnson's mesmerizing movement study, is a celebration evolution and the origin of the species. Using minute muscular twitches and gradually extending limbs, Johnson tracks humankind's emergence from a primordial state and reveals the body's memory, beyond its physicality. Sture Ericson's stirring soundscape comprised of computer-manipulated nature and animal sounds, Mogens Kjempff's precisely grained lighting design, and Charlotte Østergaard's dream-like textile backdrop create a timeless universe. www.kittjohnson.dk " …an intense and wonderful experience."
