Ways to Be Hold is a searing portrait of empowerment, fear and struggle set to elegiac music by Ross Edwards. An intensely fascinating and disturbing experience, Ways to Be Hold is danced with generous flair by Stuart Pimsler Dance & Theater.
A work inspired by the aftermath of 9/11, this compelling work illustrates the depth of emotion following this history changing event from fear and disbelief to horror, outrage, and potential hope . Performed to a luscious score by composer Ingrid Marshall, the dancers propel themselves against the back wall of the stage while trying to find comfort in eachothers arms.
Set in an imagistic world of emotional movement and intimate dialogues, The Ends of Love muses on love, lust and loss from youth to old age, while referencing works from Platos Symposium to Nicole Krauss The History of Love to Jonathan Safran Foers novel Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Layering humor, pathos, smart talk and carefully honed movement with live music by Michelle Kinney, Pimsler and his gifted company propel the audience from contemporary skirmishes in the battle of the sexes to a mythical world.
