Dance
Dark Lark
Kate Weare Company
Choreography by Kate Weare
In this provocative new work, Kate Weare—the BAM Fisher’s first
artist-in-residence—looks to sexual fantasy as a metaphor for
creative expression, using the stage as a place where we can
perform as the most potent, desiring versions of ourselves.
An original cello score by Chris Lancaster ushers us into this
suggestive realm, fetishized and electrified by Weare’s sensual,
aggressively intertwined movement vocabulary. Brilliantly attuned
to each individual dancer’s quirks and complex identities, Weare
orchestrates a series of duets, solos, and trios that explore
exposure, self-censorship, and vulnerability, examining how—in the
safest, most indeterminate spaces—bodies offer up secrets of their
inner life.
