Choreography by Doug Varone
Music composed by Michael Gordon, Julia Wolfe, and Philip Glass

“Varone’s ornate movement tends to crackle like electricity: Churning this way and that, it appears to be propelled less by muscles and bones than by centrifugal force.”
—The New York Times

Doug Varone and Dancers celebrate 30 years of impassioned choreography with three works representing the past, present, and future of this peerless company. Their major revival of the Philip Glass-scored Possession (1994), inspired by A.S. Byatt’s century-spanning novel of the same name, is an entwined portrait of solitude and desire. Varone’s latest work Folded, set to music by MacArthur fellow Julia Wolfe, renders the intimate interplay between two dancers falling in and out of sync. And in ReComposed, inspired by abstract expressionist Joan Mitchell’s pastel drawings, dancers careen across a paper-white stage to the crescendos of Michael Gordon’s Dystopia.
