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. Read the reviews of the April 7, 2014 show at FringeArts by CityPaper and Rob Wright. A review of the March 4, 2013 showing by thINKingDance can be found here. For updates and photos visit our facebook page. This project is supported by a grant from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage.
Next Performace: May 30, 2014 at 6pm at New York Live Arts.* FREE! (15 minute solo excerpt of the evening length duet.)

It will feature a number of exciting things such as wrestling, romance, babies and (sur) PRIZES!
Upcoming Performances:
Seattle International Dance Festival, June 21-22, 2014.
Kelly-Strayhorn Theater, Pittsburgh, PA, July 25-26, 2014.

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

Upcoming Performances: September, 2014. Details coming soon!
