Maria Hassabi, "Movement #2," A High Line Performance

June 28, 29, & 30, 2016

For the High Line, Hassabi presents a new composition for four dancers. Beginning in an entangled composition leaning against one another on the ground, the dancers shift slowly from pose to pose. Each arrangement of bodies forms a single brief and expressive vignette, one leading into the next, which transforms as much with the dancers’ movements as with the viewer’s movement around them. Always maintaining an intimate proximity, the dancers effectively create a sculpture to be viewed in the round.
