Founded in 2011, Dance Heginbotham is celebrated for its vibrant athleticism, humor, and theatricality, as well as its commitment to collaboration. Well-known for his 14-year tenure as a dancer with Mark Morris Dance Group, Artistic Director John Heginbotham creates work known for its “tight formal structure and inventive movement, bolstered by a disarming wit and strangeness” (The New Yorker). The program at PS21 includes:
Waltz Ending, a guided tour of Scott Joplin's beautiful, varied Harmony Club Waltz. A bittersweet solo featuring a chorus of six interrupters. Rockefellers, a charmingly witty duet to music Raymond Scott, Manhattan Research, Inc.;
Diamond, a solo dance to music by Darius Milhaud performed live on stage
Easy Win, a collaboration between John Heginbotham and jazz pianist and composer Ethan Iverson inspired by John and Ethan’s shared experiences with formal ballet class.
Rockefellers, a charmingly witty duet to music Raymond Scott, Manhattan Research, Inc.
This performance is part of the New York State Presenters Network Presenter-Artist Partnership Project made possible through a regrant from the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
