THRESHOLD

New works by SERGE BENNATHAN, Artistic Director, Les Productions Figlio PETER BINGHAM, Artistic Director, EDAM Dance ZIYIAN KWAN, dumb instrument Dance Lighting James Proudfoot

EDAM Dance opens its 2014-15 season with the first of its choreographic series, presenting new work by Peter Bingham and guest artists Serge Bennathan and Ziyian Kwan.

JUST WORDS, an imaginative collage of text and movement, more about possibility than determinism, will be performed by Serge Bennathan, Karissa Barry and Hilary Maxwell.

Peter Bingham will present LIMINAL SPACES, a directed score that uses the image of the totem to describe who we are both as individuals and as a collective. Liminal Spaces is a physical portrait of the threshold a dancer lives in when performing, constantly transitioning, continuously becoming . . . Performed by Olivia Shaffer, Walter Kubanek and Chengxin Wei.

Ziyian Kwan's "bite down gently and howl" is a riff and a departure from the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Through four intersecting solos, Goldilocks slips into her own psyche to rouse archetypes of woman, man and child. Accompanied by songs of Nancy Sinatra, "bite down gently and howl" is a danced fairytale that considers how the animal nature within us invites love and loss. Performed by Barbara Bourget, James Gnam, Vanessa Goodman and Ziyian Kwan.
