April 2010: Jessica Runge performs The Possibility Dance at hub14
For the last three months, Runge has been working "in-residence" at hub14 to create a new solo for herself. The Possibility Dance cultivates a vocabulary of contrasts—minimalism, constancy and emptiness against speed and changeability—moving dexterously and unpredictability between these states. As part of her residency, Jessica will be presenting her work at an informal showing in the studio in April.
Studio showing details:
April 22, 7pm & April 23, 6pm (please be on-time)
