Gallim Dance is thrilled to partner with founding commissioner Montclair State University's Peak Performances Series on the creation and premiere of a new work, Fold Here. Inspired by Raymond Carver's short story Cathedral, in which the narrator describes a cathedral to a blind man by drawing it while holding the man's hand, Fold Here researches the perceptive possibilities and challenges of getting to know what exists outside and within us. In a new collaboration between set designer Jon Bausor, filmmaker Tal Rosner, lighting designer Robert Wierzel and choreographer Andrea Miller, the piece will explore the conceptual, physical, functional and mystical properties of a cardboard box as a cathedral and its interaction with the dancers.
Premiere: September 2013, Montclair University Peak Performances Series.
