In Hotel
Pool, Headlong Dance Theater's cultural commentary
moves off the stage and into the water for a site-specific
dance performance in and around a hotel swimming pool.
By transforming the typical hotel pool into a setting
for an intimate drama, Hotel Pool investigates
some of the truth behind the trappings of our modern
world
transience and business culture. Marrying the narrative
possibilities of the space with the movement possibilities
of water, the piece uses the hotel pool as a setting
for dreams, longing, and disasters. View excerpts from Hotel Pool:

Mixed Tape for a Bad Year is a grab bag of dances to carry
you through a long, crappy year; featuring “Hippie
Elegy,” a comic, summer-of-love-inspired duet,
and “Yonder,” a haunting suite set to traditional
music from the American South. Mixing dreamy utopianism
and searing disappointment, these dances keep bouncing
back, coming back to love and life. Premiered at the
New Festival.
