Company:
Curated by David Parker and produced by Jeff Kazin

Performances are 7:00 Thursday-Saturday and 2:00 on Sunday
Dancer/choreographer GARNET HENDERSON, lauded for her past appearances on Soaking WET, returns with her new work The bird has more friends than me, a dance of social posturing. Performed by Rebecca Hadley, Linden Hill, and Henderson, the work asks: "what assumptions do we make when we see three women together? What expectations do we have of their interactions? The trio evokes a long history of pop girl groups, along with the whispers of conflict that have always trailed those groups of successful women.
KAI KLEINBARD's (February 5th-7th) new dance has been inspired by his work with children. Set to a collage of music that includes Aphex Twin and Autechre, Kleinbard will create a character that tunes itself to the sights, sounds, smells and experience of being in a room of onlookers.
SPECIAL GUESTS: LESLIE PARKER, THE BANG GROUP -- February 4th only!
