One of the great movers of modern dance” (The New York Times) and “one of modern dance’s great living dance-makers” (New York Magazine), David Parsons and Parsons Dance return to The Joyce Theater from January 15-27, 2013, with a program that includes two new works: Dawn to Dusk by David Parsons, and Black Flowers by former Parsons Dancer Katarzyna Skarpetowska.
The company will also present a family matinee program that features kid-friendly Parsons Dance classics on Saturday, January 26 at 2pm. Both programs will include David Parsons’ stroboscopic masterwork Caught.
Dawn to Dusk celebrates the diverse people and landscapes of Southern Florida. Set to the music of GRAMMY-Award winner Andrew Bird and Miami’s legendary Tiempo Libre, Parsons Dance presents stunning choreography integrated with streaming high-definition footage of the dancers who also appear onstage. The backdrop fills the stage with powerful photographs by Clyde Butcher and footage captured by Blue Land Media of the dancers in four of Florida’s most precious wildlife parks. Audiences will experience these locations, with their delicate ecology and unique challenges that have been preserved and protected for our use. From primitive to urban cultures and environments, David Parsons’ newest work takes the audience on a journey from Dawn to Dusk.
