Emmanuelle Vo-Dinh Ici / Per.For U.S. Premiere October 29-31, 2009 • [Thu-Sat] • 8:00 PM Admission: $18 ($12 for members) " The body in its interior dynamic resembles an unexplored and uncontrollable molecular system, and yet it's a machine the dancer masters to perfection. " - Seringhaus Ici means here, in this place, now. Perfor means to perforate, push through. In Ici / Per.For Emmanuelle Vo-Dinh continuously unfurls and contracts, pushing through her body's physical limits and examining its ability to rest, to rise, to abandon itself and to resist. Vo-Dinh perforates space in a long continuum that is reminiscent of paper whose texture changes with repeated folding and unfolding. Performing with Vo-Dinh is award-winning composer Zeena Parkins. Lighting design by Françoise Michel, costume design by Virginie and Jean-Jacques Weil. Ici / Per.For is funded in part by FUSED: French U.S. Exchange in Dance, a program of the National Dance Project/New England Foundation for the Arts and the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in New York with lead funding from Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, the French American Cultural Exchange and the Florence Gould Foundation.
