Lurch explores a body and an inanimate object. Each commissioned choreographer was given the same inanimate object (a larger set piece, welded by sculptor Alan Storey in 2010) and the same dancers. From Streetdance to Somatics and Ballet to Ballroom, their diversity in age and life experiences bring profound questions to their improvisations. The three investigators are well known for mature work, big ideas, and a powerful knack for talking about dance. From each set of discussions and research has emerged a unique ecosystem containing philosophies of movement, stillness and life. For the first time these perspectives are being presented together.
