MIDDLEGAME

MIDDLEGAME (2010) – 45 mins
Music: J.S. Bach, Veˇ ra Bílá and Kale, Carlos
Paredes, Raymond Scott, Yann Tiersen

Employing tactics of game strategy and seduction, Middlegame takes its inspiration from the game of chess and 19th century café life. Exploring ideas of élitism, power, and submission within interpersonal relationships, the dance considers the manipulation
of “being played, while playing along.”

“a mad party in Victorian undergarments ...the
internal designs thrill with lovely detail and
ingenious mayhem” – The New Yorker
