Janis Brenner & Dancers 2

Led by dancer, choreographer, singer, and artistic director Janis Brenner,
the seven-member Janis Brenner & Dancers conveys a myriad of stories through movement in
Five Decades – an evening of both retrospection and celebration that reconnects generations past
with the present. Featuring works from the 1960s to the present, Five Decades highlights music
and dance legends such as Meredith Monk’s seminal solo Break (1964) and two solo works from
Murray Louis’ historical Figura (1978), to name a few. The fifth and current decade is represented
by the world premiere of Dancing in Absentia; an homage to the friends, colleagues and wellknown
artists within the dance community lost to the HIV/AIDS epidemic
