"Consent to Gravity"
A collaboration with the
Island Moving Company
Choreographers Daniel
McCusker and Carol Somers, the Providence String Quartet, composer
Christopher Eastburn under the direction of Miki Ohlsen and project
director Thomas Palmer, and the eight dancers of the Island Moving
Co. have responded to Frederick Sommer's musical scores (and equally
evocative texts) under various sets of improvisational structures
to create a performance that is as original as their source material.
Consent to Gravity honors Frederick Sommer's legacy, especially
his exceptional sense of the interconnectedness of art forms.
