UNDER THE SKIN
Performance by Bridgman/Packer Dance

 

"Video projections have seldom been used so adroitly or with such profligate imagination."
Jennifer Dunning, The New York Times (2005)

"The most thrilling dance work this reviewer has seen in recent memory...flat-out exhilarating."
Karen Campbell,  Boston Globe (2006)

"The finest mixed-media dance I have ever seen"
 Francis Mason,  WQXR, New York Times Radio (2005)

 

 

Art Bridgman and Myrna Packer's innovative choreography using video projections has been acclaimed for exploding the duet form into a magically populated stage where image and reality collide. Their breathtaking partnering, raw and sensual physicality, and surprising humor give their work a riveting edge. The two live performers interact with their own life-size video images to create a multiplicity of identities. Video collaborators Peter Bobrow & Jim Monroe used green screen techniques and heavy layering of video tracks to create lush vibrant projections which partner the live dancers. Ken Field's original musical score mirrors the structure of the dance by layering pre-recorded tracks with his live saxophone performance, creating a score of striking rhythms and resounding horns.
