Ikue Mori |
With choreography and direction by Tiffany Mills; video by award-winning Cuban-born filmmaker Ela Troyano; and music by internationally acclaimed Japanese composer Ikue Mori, these three diverse female artists blend their individual media and backgrounds, live and improvised in performance. Mills, Mori and Troyano will chart a journey of six dancers in three consecutive duets. Mills draws inspiration for these duets from the vast power and emotional resonance of a storm as it explodes upon the multitudes: accumulation, landfall, breach.

music
John Zorn |
With music inspired by the films of Jean Luc-Godard, innocence and purity share the stage with corruption, contempt, and darker life experiences as this urban fairytale unfolds. Layering film, movement and music to achieve "dramatic color" (New York Times), Troyano, Mills and Zorn probe the complexities of human relationships, with a touch of whimsy in the Company's newest work. "Sad truths alternate with much needed comic relief." (OffOffOff.com)

music
John Zorn |
Live music drives Goetia, an exhilarating dance where the performers fly through the air in eight full-bodied visual poems. Jennifer Choi, a leading violinist of her generation, plays Zorn's idiosyncratic score. Back Stage describes Mills' feisty quartet as having "fast, intelligent interplay between sounds and choreography." |

music
John Zorn |
"Topsy-turvy bodies in a gothic universe" (New York Times) are revealed in a combustible world of shadows and split personalities. Elegy's terrain is a matrix of triggered emotions, where flowers and harrowing dreams co-exist. The New Yorker calls this multi-dimensional work "A technically demanding dance-theater piece, conjuring the violence of a Hitchcock denouement."
