BODYTRAFFIC

Wednesday / February 24, 2016 / 8 p.m.

Lillian Barbeito and Tina Finkelman Berkett founded their Los Angeles-based company BODYTRAFFIC with a clear mission: to seek out the most original, distinctive, and diverse choreography in the field today. In works by such visionaries as Kyle Abraham, Barak Marshall, Hofesh Shechter, and Victor Quijada, these dancers are expertly adroit at switching artistic viewpoints as they embody each choreographer’s distinct idiom. In a few short years, BODYTRAFFIC has surged to the forefront of the international dance scene. Among the intriguing selections on their Williams Center program is Richard Siegal’s exhilarating O2JOY, set to great American jazz standards.

Program: And at midnight, the green bride floated through the village square (2012) set to Jewish love songs and hymns; choreography by Barak Marshall //
