Chicago Premiere
Susan Marshall & Company
February 7, 8 & 9 * 8pm
Susan Marshall & Company returns to The Dance Center with a performance of the Bessie Award-winning Cloudless. Structured as a collection of poetic short stories, Cloudless consists of 18 brief dances that gather emotional force as the evening progresses. Distilled to the edge of abstraction, the choreography ranges from explosive marriages of physical theatre and formality to intimate dances that use minimal elements to maximum effect. Framed by a simple shifting stage design, Cloudless is both bold and complex, disturbing and lighthearted. This show contains partial nudity.
