AVANT-GARDE-ARAMA

“Orchestrated mayhem and the excitement that ensues are the only predictable variables…Try as it may to maintain theatrical composure, this always ends up degenerating, or exploding, into an all-out party.” – flavorpill.com

Hothouse

When Performance Space 122 first opened its doors to dancers and performers in 1979, the central event of the week was Open Movement, and later Music/Dance. In 1985 the Open Movement and Music/Dance, sessions and the need for an informal venue where spontaneous dance and music could be explored before an audience, led to the birth of Hothouse , a one of a kind performance series dedicated to improvisation. Curated by DD Dorvillier, Hothouse features month-long showcases of improvisational works. Hothouse brings three to four performers, or groups, together each Sunday to share their latest experiments and culminates in a jam between all of them.

Coming Out of the Night with Names

Coming Out of the Night With Names is a new work from human future dance corps by playwright/director Peter Jacobs and choreographer DD Dorvillier, which examines a mystery of vessels that hold us in our experience, and the names we absorb over generations as these vessels vanish.
