Representing a radical shift from Jane Comfort’s history of text-driven works, Altiplano is an abstract dance that originates in movement structures that range from spare images of the desert to highly physical and complex configurations, like a flash flood or violent winds. It references the evolution of animals and social communication with its gradually increasing physicality and hive-like density.

Comfort, Levasseur, and Wolcott, Bessie Award winners, were equal partners in creating the work, sharing and shifting design responsibilities as one. Jane Comfort is a choreographer, writer, and director who has broken boundaries in dance performance since the late 70’s. She is a Guggenheim Fellow whose work has been performed throughout the US, in Europe, and in Latin America. “Jane Comfort is one of the most fertile minds in the theater of mixed forms.” - The New York Times
