The Dance Apocalypse

The Dance Apocalypse is a duet created by Gabrielle Revlock and Nicole Bindler. Taking the form of a Directors' Commentary, the audience will experience the dance as if peering through a camera lens -- zooming in to our intimate musings and exchanges, out to a large film screen, and back in again. The result is a forceful commentary on our relationship to art-making and to each other as female artists in a spectacle-driven world. For a review of the work-in-progress at FringeArts on March 4 click here. For updates and photos visit our facebook page. For more on this collaboration and the free dance classes click here. This project is supported by a grant from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage.
Next Performace: April 7, 2014 at FringeArts. FREE! RSVP here.

Halo

Halo (excerpt) from Gabrielle Revlock on Vimeo.

An intimate duet for dancer and hoop. The woman manipulates the hoop yet at times appears to be controlled by it. As the dance unfolds, it conjures images of loneliness, entrapment, and surrender.

"Revlock’s thoughtful construction of each action coupled with her assured, doe-eyed presence lent an affecting quality" -Beau Hancock, ThINKing Dance
