"Improvisation is like turning over a stone, and finding another one underneath. There is always more. The child inside me keeps exploring. There is so much work to do, and I am excited to keep doing it." Dorchel Haqq, New York

“In the time leading up to DraftWork, I had the entire space (Danspace) to myself, where I used that time to dream and see the structure in the space…Improvisation is like turning over a stone, and finding another one underneath. There is always more. The child inside me keeps exploring. There is so much work to do, and I am excited to keep doing it.” -Dorchel Haqq

🎈 Danspace Project presents the premiere of Yvonne Meier’s “Strega Nona” next week from November 20–22! Tickets are available starting at $10 for members at the link in bio 🔗

Originally from Zurich, Switzerland, Yvonne Meier has been choreographing and performing her work since 1980. She has received Bessie’s Awards for her work, which span anywhere from solos to large-scale post-modern spectacles. Over the years, Meier has developed a high-risk movement vocabulary that takes the audience through transformation by exhaustion.

Meier, known for her physical wit and dark humor, creates “Strega Nona”—a work about lovers brought together by a matchmaker called Strega Nona. The dance that follows, she writes, “is brutal…erotic, and tender.” Dancers Osmani Tellez and Lisa Kusanagi perform scores of Meier and Ishmael Houston-Jones’ love duet “Tell me”, which they danced in New York in the ’90s.

Dominica Greene is a movement-based conceptual artist, dancer, and facilitator residing on the unceded lands of the Munsee Lenape people. She creates body and time-based multidisciplinary environments which interrogate cycles of life, death, and love. Harnessing the elements, spirit, and womanness into an existence rooted in love, community, and regeneration, her work seeks to reflect nature—human and otherwise—as a way of highlighting humanity, the stark similarities in our differences, and our inheritances as legacies.

Her new work “endlessend”—performed by herself and Garrett Allen—ponders these here “end times,” considering all the variable outcomes in a game of life endings. “I’ll see your end and raise you a…”

“Sarai finds spaciousness and possibility for a queerly evolving conception of love, rooted in whole-bodied experimentation, play, and investment. To love, Sarai seems to argue, requires rebuilding oneself over and over, incorporating all the mismatched fragments of self into the walls of a new house.” —Maia Sauer
