SPDT's 15th Anniversary Home Season

The season is named for Pelton’s newest work, inspired by the poetry of Anglo-Irish writer Louis MacNeice. Set to a score by Gavin Bryars, this dark and meditative work will be performed twice each evening—as a solo and again as a group piece. These two different versions of a single meditation quietly ask how one might reconcile the tyranny of humanity with the progress of time and the body.

The season also includes revivals of Not Here, choreographed to Radiohead for Nol Simonse in 2003, and one of Christy Funsch's own dances, Solo for Somebody. For Tuesday, created in 2006 in collaboration with playwright-in-residence Brian Thorstenson, the company will be joined by guest dancers Erin Mei-Ling Stuart and Private Freeman. The evening concludes with an excerpt from next season's Citizen Hill, performed to live string music by Ravel
