Bridgman/Packer to share stage with RIC Dance Company
The Rhode Island College Dance Company and Bridgman/Packer Dance will premiere a dance/video work in a shared concert on Friday, Nov. 30, at 8 p.m. in the Nazarian Center's Sapinsley Hall.
The work is the result of a collaboration between the two companies on an eight-day choreographic and video residency this month.
Bridgman/Packer Dance will also be joined by a videographer, composer and musicians to perform an abridged version of its breakthrough dance and video trilogy Seductive Reasoning, Under The Skin, Memory Bank.
Art Bridgman and Myrna Packer create work around the dilemma of finding meaning and connections in a time and world where everything seems to be transient and at risk. Their exploration of the duet form nearly exhausts the possibilities for partnering, pairing, and coupling - with all of the inherent pros and cons of this enduring and endlessly persistent human preoccupation.
Elizabeth Zimmer of The Village Voice has written, "Art Bridgman and Myrna Packer have raised the duet to a pinnacle of clarity and craft."
The RIC Dance Company has previously hosted residency/performance projects with Bridgman/Packer in 2002, 1994 and 1984, and a choreographic residency project in 1992.
The Bridgman/Packer Dance residency/performance project at RIC was funded in part by a grant from the New England Foundation for the Arts Expeditions program with support from the National Endowment for the Arts Regional Touring Program, the six New England state arts agencies, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Argosy Foundation.
