January 22 + 23, 2010, 8:30pm


Perezian Geometry   /   Highways Performance Space   /   Santa Monica
Workshoping "Discard'

In a frenzied exercise of physical and emotional stamina, Jamie Benson introduces a new infectious dance solo called Discard. Inspired by Mr. Perez’s choreographic process of incorporating the use of space, focus, energy along with the bare experience of movement, Benson adds a linear emotional context in order to further dissect jazz and modern dance forms.

DANCE MAGAZINE REVIEW!!!  -  By Victoria Looseleaf

Tribute to Rudy Perez.
Premiering "Surrender Dorothy"

Dorothy, the new work by famed post-modern choreographer Rudy Perez, is a collaboration between Liquid Skin Ensemble and members of the Rudy Perez Ensemble.

One of the co-founders of New York's experimental Judson Dance Theatre, a coterie of artists who would define boundary-breaking "downtown" aesthetics in 1962, Perez continues to chart an unwavering course where pedestrian moves transcend the mundane to reveal bold, deep ideas.
