The Battle Tomorrow

BATTLEWORKS DANCE COMPANY
See Robert Battle's Reel Time, a collaboration with composer John King that explores social interactions through a deconstruction of traditional folk dance. Juba, a company premiere, will feature a live rendition of John Mackey's propulsive string and percussion score. Completing the evening will be two new solos, Ella and In/Side, and the perennial favorite Overture.

Your assignment:
A little pre-show research. (Research is such an...academic word. Sorry.) Check out Robert Battle, The Battleworks Dance Company, and The Joyce Theater. Read over their websites, look at their organization missions, browse Robert's biography. There are Battleworks videos on YouTube and reviews of their work available if you just drop the company name in a Google search. Come with some understanding of what you're going to see - and maybe with a few questions you'd ask Robert!

See you at 7:30 tomorrow evening!
