City/Dans: YVONNE MEIER Stolen February 5-7, 2009 • [Thu-Sat] at 8:30 PM Admission: $18.00 (members $12.00) Audiences have come to expect the unexpected and revel in the surprise of Yvonne Meier's mischievous dance works. Called, "smart, witty, and more than a little nutty" by Deborah Jowitt of The Village Voice, Ms. Meier returns to Danspace Project with Stolen. In her new evening-length work, Meier creates a world fully outfitted with furniture ropes and aluminum, where a strange balance exists between tenderness and destruction. The constant manipulation and transformation of props and dancers becomes a wild game as the performers attempt to create something unbelievable. Stolen features performance by Arturo Vidich and Aki Sasamoto with lighting design by Kathy Kaufmann. "...amusingly subversive... delicious... a wittily imaginative exploration of how much can be communicated almost entirely by movement." The New York Times Stolen is made possible, in part, with funds from the 2008-2009 Danspace Project Commissioning Initiative with support from the generous individuals who contribute to Danspace Project's Dans/Creation Fund.
