Labyrinth is a movable, moving art installation. It is not a traditional dance performance; it is a gigantic art installation created in close collaboration with artists
Chris Elam has been commissioned to create choreography for the ten dancers of the Danish Dance Theater for their new production entitled “Labyrinth” which premieres in Copenhagen in May 2008.
“Labyrinth” is a movable, moving art installation. It is not a traditional dance performance; it is a gigantic art installation created in close collaboration with artists within contemporary dance, music and video art. The piece will be performed on four stages located within a life-sized labyrinth through which the audience will actively walk during the performance.
The Danish Dance Theater is on a residency at the Joyce SoHo for October during which Chris will begin the choreography. You are invited to see the process during two free events: an open rehearsal and a work-in-progress showing, both described below.
