Two writers in the April Dance section witness the buzz, violence, and booty bouncing of LA(HORDE)'s Age of Content. One sees the live collective experience as a balm for our chronically-online time; the other sees the work participating in the visual fetishization it seeks to subvert.

Jodi Melnick and Sara Mearns return to 92nd Street Y in March to present the world premiere of Superbloom (Dancing Into Choreographic Forms). The new evening-length piece for five dancers is inspired by female choreographers who have shaped the American modern and postmodern dance scene, as well as 92NY’s own storied history.

Douglas Dunn + Dancers will present the world premiere of L’Embarqement pour Cythère at Judson Memorial Church. The evening-length work for twelve dancers choreographed by Douglas Dunn features new poetry by Anne Waldman. Dunn and Waldman recently spoke with the Brooklyn Rail about their enduring creative partnership, artistic lineage, and Merce Cunningham.
