The Bill #7 brings dancer Emily Bowman into duet with sound artist/musician Moses Carr, and dancer/choreographers Rosalind Crisp & Antony Hamilton gatecrash with their duet practice, for this festive session of low-fi improvised performance.
The Bill extends the improvised performance realm through the sensibilities of Contact Improvisation.
A monthly platform curated by Two for Now (Emily Bowman and Joey Lehrer) and dedicated to dance improvisation performance where moments of high exposure and fleeting visibility are caught in the flow of spontaneous production. At each event, an established guest or group is invited to perform in a double bill alongside Two for Now, for a duration of up to 30 minutes each, followed by an Artist Chat.
