"Risa Jaroslow's new work, 311, will take place under the massive archways of the city's Municipal Building. Six dancers will engage in a range of interactions, while an interviewer queries passersby and people, entering and leaving the building about their thoughts on city government. What will emerge when onlookers are asked to engage with these questions in the larger context of the current national focus on government and civic engagement and the immediate context of a dance performance where you don’t expect to see one? These amplified conversations will provide the dance’s sound score." Full set of dates and more on the troop below. All Ages

"There are as many ways to move as there are people. I include both the incredible virtuosity of highly trained dancers and the unique and deeply human contributions of non-trained movers in my work. By combining them, I aim to create a rich, complex picture of the human experience that is resonant with all kinds of audiences.
Our creative process begins with questions like, What feels like "home" to you? What is the meaning of maleness and masculinity in our society, and what could it mean? We bring our questions to people of different ages, backgrounds and abilities in community settings, and they answer us in words and movements that open up universes of possibility. In the studio, the company turns those answers into dances - stretching them, turning them into daring partnering, whirling them through space and arranging them in patterns across many bodies."
