The Process – Claire Alrich

Claire Alrich leads rehearsal for her upcoming show, make me a monument at Dance Place, March 21 & 22, at 7pm! Tangling the innate comedy of the body with its capacity for sublime beauty, make me a monument is a new, site-specific performance for the Dance Place theater. With post-modern dance, object theater, and a dash of musical theater razzle-dazzle, this work conceptualizes monument-making as a way of shaping communal spaces, celebrating mortality, and embodying memory. Featuring a collaborative cast of 8 dancers, an original sound score, and a morphing fabric set, this performance invites you (the audience) into a world that unwinds and rewinds, creates connections and shifts perspective.
