We respectfully ask for your tax deductible financial assistance to help with the flow in our actions. Chris Ferris & Dancers presents dance that is brought to you with the vibrancy of unique and quirky action weaving an event that puts you squarely into the present tense. There is nothing like live performance. Be with us through our leaps, falls, bounces, and slices. We offer sweat, heavy breathing, and an eyeful of action that gets you dancing within yourself. We offer live original music made specifically with each dance.
Chris Ferris & Dancers aims to contribute to the culture of dance by creating an acute awareness of movement and its many possibilities so that you can view your everyday life from another dimension. Movement is a large communicator. We have been speaking this language of limbs, torso, mind, heart, and soul in New York City for over 30 years. Be a part of this tradition by making it possible for us to pay artists and meet the costs of theater rental, rehearsal space, technical staff, and publicity. |

CHRIS FERRIS & DANCERS’ PROJECTS
We will premier Translations in Fission on November 2, 2024.
Translations in Fission will be a premiere work choreographed by Chris Ferris. It is a trio with original music scores by company composer Loren Kiyoshi Dempster. The movement will include highly detailed structured phrasing and design along with structured improvisation to fuse two different thought processes of executing dance. Rehearsals are originally without music and then music is created specifically for the dance.
In this work, Chris Ferris will take three of her independently created solos and combine them into a compelling new trio. These never performed solos have distinct flavors and personalities that reflect unique states of mind and physicality. The combination of these three solos will stimulate the audience with a blending of forms and opposing forces.
When a dancer is not alone and the room is inhabited by the “others” they may become props, persons, or driving atmospheres. They may adopt each other’s language. Peaceful water movement maybe performed as agitated action creating a new view point and solution. Sometimes action is all about how a movement is done and not what it is.
We will explore how we affect one another passively, aggressively, subtly, or not at all. This is all by choice, need, or habit. Most of all I intend to have these problems bring about some really interesting movement with conflicts and harmonies. This is what makes life interesting.
Please consider a donation to help cover the costs of rentals for performances and rehearsals, paying dancers, and documentation. |
