A club-like atmosphere of daring ecstasy, collective revolt, and personal reclamations.
This year’s MERGE pairs Mathew Janczewski’s high-intensity, super-charged movements with Taja Will’s nuanced, emotive, and improvisational boldness. Their collaboration will culminate in an evening of performance, the premiere of a haunting new solo by Will, and Mathew Janczewski takes to the stage for the first time since 2017 for the premiere of a new duet with longtime ARENA DANCES company member, Dustin Haug. Semipermeable fluid inspires ideas that highlight the specific and present relationship of the two, allowing for each to move through together from a certain known history of ideas shared.
