Chen Dance Center Co-Presents:
Debra Wanner Dance
Close
Four dance works of Intimacy, Identity, and Transcendence
April 15-17, 2010 at 7:30pm at Chen Dance Center
After a fulfilled career as a dancer working for over 20 years with some of the most notable choreographers of New York’s downtown dance scene, Debra Wanner introduces her own choreography with her newly formed company, Debra Wanner Dance.
A multi-faceted dancer, performer, and choreographer, Debra Wanner creates inquisitive dance works about evolving human experiences. Wanner’s work toys and struggles with the nature of self-image and human desire, ultimately exploring transformative experiences. Her dance combines pure movement with work that includes text, video, and improvisation. There is a structural formality to the work along with an emotional undertone that pushes against and through any constraints. In Close Wanner explores how we share space, both inside and out, and the richness and malleability of physical and emotional environments.
Close features two premieres, two pieces of repertory, and performances by Sam Ernst, Fiona Evans, Alessandra Larson, Molly Lieber, and Debra Wanner. Bessie-award winning composer Peter Zummo accompanies live and Bessie-award winning lighting designer, Kathy Kaufman, designs the lights.
Close will be performed Thursday through Saturday, April 15-17, 2010 at 7:30pm at Chen Dance Center. A reception follows the opening night of the performance.
