Dinner Party
Company:
Dinner Party Project NYC
Dinner Party is a multidisciplinary cross between a dance and a play. Text and movement intertwine to convey intimate storylines that touch on everyday and challenging topics. Growing out of Michelle Thompson’s interest in the choreographic structure of the duet, the work builds as a series of conversations between couples, highlighting the ways in which the conflicts and closeness of these intimate relationships reveal themselves in more public settings.
Thompson, in collaboration with Scott Illingworth of Society Theatre Company, has partnered with playwrights, actors, and dancers to bring you multiple storylines that will collide at the same dinner party. Original music by Michael Wall intertwines through these storylines to guide and enhance the journey of the characters. The individual characters on stage are unaware of the struggles and baggage that each relationship holds but ultimately the storylines start to collide and cause the party to implode. Come see the stories unfold at 3AM Theatre in Queens September 18th-21st.
