Ephrat Asherie Dance / Underscored

 

Wednesday / January 31 / 8 p.m.

Ephrat Asherie’s “movement phrases—compact bursts of choreography with rapid-fire changes in rhythm and gestural articulation—bubble up and dissipate, quickly paving the way for something new” (The New York Times). Her fun, lively company’s performance of Underscored serves as a living archive of five generations of New York City club dancers. It’s an exhilarating journey through deeply personal histories; rarely seen archival footage; a vast musical landscape including funk, disco, and house; and decades of dancing through the culturally reflective styles of breaking, hip hop, house, vogue, waacking, and hustle.

This performance is presented with generous support from the Dexter F. and Dorothy H. Baker Foundation
