Dancers Molly Lieber and Eleanor Smith return to Roulette to present their new work, Prairie Dawn, over three nights.
Prairie Dawn explores a relationship to improvisation as a feminist exclamation, such as: Yes, this is a fully improvised dance! And: Yes, its methodology depends on us knowing and caring for one another! And, finally: Yes, it is about resourcing what we already have. Like all of Lieber and Smith’s work, Prairie Dawn continues to problematize femme objectification and shame in relation to dance, but now that they are older this work is privy to tropes and compilations in relation to grief, parenting, and return. Back to Roulette for the first time since Tulip (2013), Prairie Dawn includes Sound Design by longtime collaborator James Lo (who has been there since before Tulip) and Lighting Design by Amanda K. Ringger.

“As fluent as their bodies are, though, the heartbeat of their work has always been more about excavating an inner landscape, one that considers the objectification of women.” —The New York Times
