Stephen Petronio’s Locomotor / Non Locomotor is an evening-length, full-company work in two parts featuring an original score by electronic hip-hop pioneer Clams Casino. Locomotor explores extreme locomotive states, casting Petronio’s virtuoso company in a careening mix of action forward and backward through time and space, while Non Locomotor begins from the spine and its ability to initiate torque and torsion, sending movement surging throughout the body.

“There’s a visceral thrill to Stephen Petronio’s choreography that is unlike anything offered by other contemporary choreographers…” —The New York Times

Audience members are invited to a pre-performance talk by Rebecca Nordstrom, Professor of Dance and Movement Studies at Hampshire College and the Five College Dance Department at 6:30p.m. at the University Museum of Contemporary Art (lower level of FAC).
