Season at a Glance

"Under the Skin"

The Department of Theatre and Dance present Bridgman/Packer's  "Under the Skin"

"Under the Skin" explores the intricacies of identity, gender, perception and intimacy through Bridgman/Packer's choreographic concept of "video partnering"-the highly visceral and visually arresting integration of live performance and video technology.  Through interaction with their life-size video images and the use of bodies and costumes as projection screens, Bridgman and Packer blur the lines between image and reality, distort identity and reveal hidden multiple layers of consciousness.  Composers Robert Een, Ken Field and Glen Velez have created original musical scores.

 "The most thrilling dance work this reviewer has seen in recent memory...flat-out exhilarating." The Boston Globe

Much Ado About Nothing

"Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps."  Much Ado About Nothing 

Love is much ado about nothing.  The sparks fly between old friends Beatrice and Benedick while for Claudia and Hero it is love at first sight.  Battle of wits and battle of the sexes, courtships and deceptions, masked balls and romantic revelations, innuendo and gossip all play a part in the matchmaking.  One of Shakespeare's most popular comedies, "Much Ado About Nothing" centers on the frivolity of courtship and all the uproar they cause about everything.

The Arsonists

Set in a town overrun with arsonists, the good, but naive Gottleib Biedermann, simply wants to live an ordinary life, bother no one and stay clear of issues.  But things veer from the ordinary when he and his doltish wife let in a couple of strangers, who have spurious credentials and rather crude personalities.  When the "guests" suspiciously start filling the attic with petrol drums, Biedermann, attempting to avoid the issue, even helps them wire the fuse.  The Arsonists is a witty and dazzling parable about accommodating the very thing that will destroy you.
