Jessica Gaynor Dance presents
the World Premiere of Hero from November 15-18, 2012 at 8pm

Floor, Brooklyn, NY 11211. Tickets are $15 and are available at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/259374
.
Hero, an evening
of new work by Ms. Gaynor, explores the ideological heroism, physical prowess
and secret identities of superheroes. Ms. Gaynor’s choreography is physically
ferocious. Each dancer holds a specific attribute that is equal and opposite
to his or her partner: no fear vs. calculated, malleable vs. rigid, upside-down
vs. balanced. The piece utilizes extreme physicality, intricate patterning
and sophisticated formal structures in an exploration of the complexities
of human experience. Hero features original music by Devin
Maxwell, and lighting design by Andrew Dickerson.
Dancers: Catherine Coury, Emily
Diers, Kyle Gerry, Jake Laub, Jordan Risdon, Julia Sabangan
