After several years of experimental ensemble investigation, award-winning choreographer Deborah Hay returns to solo performance in response to an invitation by Juliette Mapp and Danspace Project. In No Time To Fly, she partners with long-time collaborator, lighting designer Jennifer Tipton, whose work has been pivotal to Hay’s aesthetic vision over the last decade.

During her evening-length solo, Hay seeks to open the door to sustained moments of non-linear learning for the performer and the audience alike. “If I am to really admit and celebrate the ephemeral nature of dance, then I must learn to see, experience, and respect time passing.”
