    The Way (you make me feel)

    Interdisciplinary performance artist Katy Pyle presents The Way (you make me feel), a music and dance-filled homage to otherness, death, fear, ecstasy, lust and engorged emotions. Ritualistic divination drives performers Rebecca Brooks, Mindy Nelson, and Jules Skloot through shifting life/death states and gender identities while they sing angelic cover songs. Live music by pianist Sara Marcus and live video by Christy Pessagno.

    When Them

    Jen Rosenblit is the founder of the BottomHeavies, an ensemble that carries rural notions to urban time frames and navigates the space between tragedy and bizarre humor. In When Them, she creates a duet in an imagined landscape while placing value on our notions of importance. This duet, with Addys Gonzalez, explores a new performance dynamic between two familiar bodies within a pasture of clay.

    PLATFORMS 2010 is a component of Danspace Project's Choreographic Center Without Walls (CW2), a multi-year commissioning and presentation research and development project which has received major support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation as well as the the National Endowment for the Arts. As part of Platforms 2010, The Way (you make me feel) and When Them are made possible with funds from the 2009-2010 Danspace Project Commissioning Initiative with support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
