WHAT:
To celebrate the company’s 15th year of artistry, BRDP has embarked on its most ambitious project to date – a haunting, original dance work that incorporates a full-stage, steel-pipe set design. Part acrobatic spectacle and part ghost story, Residue places soft, moving bodies inside a harsh, geometric landscape that is thick with memory. Performers climb and swing through this world of poles, threading together in intimate embraces and powerful locomotion. The looming structure is more than a simple backdrop for the dance. Wholly interactive and essential to the action, this metal design saturates the work with meaning and mood as shadowed figures tell their tales.
Residue is supported by New Music USA, made possible by annual program support and/or endowment gifts from Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust, New York State Council on the Arts, New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, Howard Gilman Foundation,
Helen F. Whitaker Fund, Aaron Copland Fund for Music, Carl Jacobs Foundation, and the New York State Council on the Arts.
