STEPHEN PETRONIO OFFERS PREVIEW of WORLD PREMIERE in TIVOLI
(TIVOLI, N.Y.) – The Stephen Petronio Company will performs its new two-part work, “Locomotor/Non Locomotor,” at Kaatsbaan International Dance Center on Saturday, March 28, at 7:30 pm, one week before its official world premiere at New York City’s Joyce Theater. Last year’s dance, “Locomotor,” cast the virtuosic dancers careening forward and backward through time and space. Its new companion, “Non Locomotor,” explores movement deep within a torqueing center, sending surges of action throughout the body while stationary in space. The full work features an original score by electronic pioneer Clams Casino, and incorporates vocal elements by the Young People’s Chorus of New York City.
