Racoco performs at Tea Dances, co-hosted by Emily Faulkner and Jody Sperling 525 WEST 22ND STREET Buzzer 5A (bet 10th/11th Aves) New York, NY map »
Saturday, April 9th 2011 - 3:00pm price : Suggested donation $10Tea Dances are fun, family-friendly performances that are followed by refreshments.
Rachel Cohen, Alisa Fendley, Rebecca Ketchum, Masumi Kishimoto, and Kelly Kocinski will be performing excerpts of recent Racoco work.
Jody Sperling's Time Lapse Dance shares excerpts from "Turbulence," a new work-in-progress. The dancers whip silk into motion to visualize patterns of air disturbance. Swirling and swooping to a brand-new percussion score by Quentin Chiappetta, the women make a dynamic connection between rhythmic and spatial architecture.
Emily Faulkner's Wind-up Circus runs the finale from their recent work combining acrobatic, circus-inspired spectacle with exquisitely delicate movement and deadpan wit. Think post-modern dance meets Alice in Wonderland.
And stick around for tea and cookies after the performance!
