Corrie Befort: Soft Body

Following a round-robin structure, four dancers cycle through states of moving/reflecting, responding/resting, in pairs and independently. Central to Befort’s score is an investigation of somatic memory—how experience is inscribed in the physical body. Over the multiple cycles in this performance, sensations accumulate creating a residue of felt experience that effects each rotation and how each dancer behaves.  

There will be two performances: one at noon and one at 2:15 PM.
