Arts On Site, 12 Saint Marks Place, 3rd floor, NYC

An evening of works created and performed by friends, family, former and current members of The Bang Group

 TBG’s DEBORAH LOHSE presents Swan Lake in 7 condenses the four act classical ballet into seven minute solo complete with puppets, costume changes and a reimagined ending performed by TBG’s LOUISE BENKELMAN

 Turing Tests is a rhythm-dance trio in which rapid fire footwork is part of the musical score by avant-garde composer Dean Rosenthal. Choreographer DAVID PARKER sets the pace with humor and ardor.  Performed by TBG members DYLAN BAKER, MARGARET FALCONE, and TOMMY SEIBOLD

 TBG member AMBER SLOAN presents a new work-in-progress examining the tension between the care we extend to others and the cost to our own wellbeing. Performed by Ching-I Chang, Jordan Morley, and Sloan, the trio uses intricate partnering and shifting physical dynamics to interrogate support as both a sustaining and depleting force.

 Former TBG member ERIN GOTTWALD will perform Slaughter of the Innocents, Anna Sokolow’s 1937 lament for Basque women suffering under Nazi aerial bombing. This solo was reimagined by ST/DE Artistic Director TBG alum SAMANTHA GERACHT using archival materials, embodied lineage, and historical research, and set to the recently-discovered original score by Alex North.

 TBG’s dear friend CATHERINE THARIN presents When I Sleep Beside You, a trio that explores states of reliance and separation, rest and action, within a rhythmic structure shaped by suspension, interruption, asymmetry, and sudden rhythmic departures. Through shifting solos, duets, and trios, the dancers – including TBG’sDYLAN BAKER — seem bound by an irresistible pull toward one another, engaging in intimate exchanges that suggest an enduring emotional tether. These interactions draw the viewer into the dancers’ deeply personal world. The choreography is marked by a texture of delicacy and force, contrasting long fluid movements with flurries of tightly clustered shapes.
