AMERICAN DANCE FESTIVAL 2022
30 Intervals/15 Minutes
A world premiere by Stephen Petronio & Johnnie Cruise Mercer
Thursday, June 23 at 7:30 PM
Reynolds Industries Theater at Duke
$30
Stephen Petronio and Johnnie Cruise Mercer bring their specific embodied histories to a dance of intentional and unconscious connections. The result is a new duet generated from movement and space-based improvisational scores, with original music by Monstah Black, a collaborator who has worked closely with both artists. Together, they embark on a choreographic experiment, a generational conversation between bodies fueled by their similar/different queer-radical pasts.
Petronio and Mercer share a program with Helen Simoneau Danse.
