ARTHUR AVILES TYPICAL THEATRE - REAL MEN

Real Men Provided by BAAD!

Dipping into the archives of his past repertory, Arthur Avilés revives Real Men a dance he created in 2004. This seemingly abstract dance set to two of Bach's Goldberg variations brings together 6 dancers who engage in sometimes tender, sometimes abrupt, sometimes balanced objective interactions. The dance is open enough to allow each audience member to contemplate what might be going on. The dance happens through duets, quartets and full group interactions culminating in the entire group entangled figuratively and literally.

A dancer in a black tutu and leotard and pointe shoes stands on one leg, with the other leg extended behind the body in a straight line. One arm is raised above the head and the other extended to the back parallel to the extended leg. The school director is opposite the dancer and wears a red DTH logo t-shirt and black pants and ballet slippers. She holds the hand of the arm raised above the dancer’s head with one arm and her back arm is extended and she is smiling at the student.
