Stephen Petronio Company performs “Into the Maze”

INTO THE MAZE will be created by Stephen Petronio specifically within the Parrish Art Museum’s installation of Alan Shields’ MAZE. Conceived as a meeting between the Company’s dancers and Shields’ magically environmental sculpture, the company will perform Petronio’s unique movement language within and amidst the constraints of the architecture of this puzzle-in-form.  Petronio’s dancers complete the nature of the maze as a human and spiritual space for motion, contemplation, and reflection.  The costumes incorporate body pieces designed by Shields, not originally intended to be a part of MAZE, but reflective of its spirit. Music composed by Tom Laurie from a score by Shields will accompany the dance event.

Friday, November 7, 6:00pm (20-minute performance followed by Q&A with Stephen Petronio)
