Hatch Dance and HoneyWorks come together for their fourth collaboration, a new dance inspired by and set to Terry Riley’s In C, performed atop the Minneapolis Club parking ramp in downtown Minneapolis.
In this new work, 17 of the Twin Cities most versatile and creative dance artists and 6 musicians led by jazz pianist Joseph Strachan navigate the world of Terry Riley’s infamous In C. The musical score, made up of 53 short cells and the simple instruction for musicians to repeat as many times as they wish before moving forward, gives full agency to the musicians and is therefore never played the same way twice. A new improvisational dance score, crafted by Berit Ahlgren and Helen Hatch, both follows and departs from the framework of the music, creating a non-hierarchical microcosm in which the consequences of complicity and dissension unfold in real time.
