A lot of my work deals with trying to figure out my space between history and what I want to say. Taking so-called balletic steps and modern steps and trying to have them talk to each other. My dances are about who’s in the room with me and it’s about the people I’m with. So, I come here with ideas, with the steps, with different experiments that I want to try, but it’s always going to be about the people in the room. — Pam Tanowitz*
L.A. Dance Project presents a repertory program of SUMMER DANCES, an occasion to revisit some favorites or catch up on what you may have missed.
The element of chance in the structure of Madeline Hollander’s 5 LIVE CALIBRATIONS ensures a unique sequence of steps and movements with every performance. Bobbi Jene Smith and Or Schraiber’s QUARTET FOR FIVE—a recent addition to the troupe’s repertoire—makes a welcome return to LADP’s stage. And any opportunity to see Pam Tanowitz’s EVERYONE KEEPS ME should be taken.
