Wendy Osserman has been performing and choreographing since the early 1960s. She formed the Wendy Osserman Dance Company in 1976 after appearing as a soloist with Kei Takei, Frances Alenikoff and Valerie Bettis. For four decades, the company has toured and performed in New York City in varied venues including the Delacorte Theater with the New York Dance Festival in 1979, Symphony Space, Dance Theater Workshop, Danspace at St. Mark’s Church, Joyce Soho and Theater for the New City.
This premiere is choreographed by Wendy Osserman in collaboration with five superb dancers. Osserman confuses the personal with the political as she conveys her struggle to comprehend current events and history with drama and humor.
Unusual contributions by composer, musician and musical instrument creator, Skip La Plante, will again delight the dancers and the audience. Udjat, a trio from 1985, concludes the program "with a darkness that is both powerful and compelling " (The Dance Magazine).
