Excerpt of -ism by Pele Bauch performed at Joyce SoHo July 2007

Performers slide along the floor, right at the audience's feet. Crinkling like cubist amoebas wrapped in plastic, they rearrange the audience seating as the performance progresses. Viewers find themselves inside the performance space, watching the dance unfold all around them.

The creation of ism was made possible in part by a Dance Theater Workshop's Outer/Space Creative Residency at CAVE as well as space grants from the Chocolate Factory and The Field's Field Artist Residency program. The Joyce SoHo premiere in July 2007 was made possible by grants from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council & the Harkness Foundation for Dance.
