Emily Coates, choregrapher, at Kaatsbaan: Danspace Project Workshop Showcase

Emily Coates, choreographer Peter Gannushkin

Ms. Coates present a preview of Incarnations, an evening-length piece that will premiere at Danspace Project in March 2017. Moving between lecture and performance, pedagogy and art, the piece will interweave sources such as Balanchine’s 1928 ballet Apollo, the elusive body of Sir Isaac Newton, Stravinsky rehearsing Apollon musagète, the recent discovery of the Higgs boson, and Coates’ ongoing collaboration with particle physicist Sarah Demers. The project includes dancers Iréne Hultman, Jon Kinzel, Lacina Coulibaly, and musician-composer Will Orzo. Of Incarnations Deborah Jowitt of The New York Times wrote:

In this “playful but utterly serious work...” “…you may wonder if your brain is turning to jelly. Ms. Coates’s embodiment of ideas about corporality and physics in relation to Isaac Newton’s Laws of Motion and the Higgs field challenges the nonscientific among us.”  --
