Glassman is creating a new dance based on the Beach House site, drawing on anecdotes about Marion Davies parties with surfers and the Marx Brothers (entitled “Timeless: Marxist Dances at the Beach”), and will premiere this work May 15-16.
In this panel, choreographers will discuss the impulse to make dances for non-theatrical settings, challenges inherent in “dancing outside of the box”, and highlights from their careers. Attendees will get a glimpse into an artists creative process, learn about the range of work thats been made for unusual sites, and get a deeper understanding of current issues in site-specific dance.
