This new choreography devised by graduate student Brandon
Gonzalez and produced by ITDP
plays in the Arena Theatre, Wright Hall.
The Space Between is an ongoing choreographic exploration into
the sense of space and human relationship. Three performers
attune to one another, they change the space and the space
changes them. Together the dancers wait, and the complexities of
desire, anxiety, and society arise.
Are you moving towards or away? Or not moving at all? How do we
make sense of our proximity? Is space the distance measured
between us? Or is it a living bodily process constantly changing
and impossible to capture?
What is space? How do we make sense of this proximity? Where do
we begin and end? Where can we meet? Is space just “the emptiness
between the stuff?” Or is it some sort of a living process?
Performers: Rosemary Hannon, Megan Ransmeier and Brandon Gonzalez
