Arts Brookfield presents Stephen Petronio Company on the Winter Garden stage at Brookfield Place. The groundbreaking dance company’s mid-day presentation features “Locomotor/Non Locomotor,” choreographed by Stephen Petronio with costumes by Narciso Rodriguez and music by Clams Casino, which was first presented in April 2015 at the Joyce Theater. The evening performance includes Merce Cunningham’s “RainForest,” with decor by Andy Warhol and musical score by David Tudor, from the choreographer’s project entitled BLOODLINES, which traces Petronio’s choreographic lineage through various postmodern icons.

About Stephen Petronio Company
With over thirty years of experience creating work with his own company, Stephen Petronio has pushed his distinctly virtuosic movement language to new realms of experimentation. His unique language speaks to the intuitive possibilities of the body within the shifting cultural moment, and he continues to create a haven for dancers with a keen interest in history and an appetite for the unknown. The creation of BLOODLINES, a project that honors the lineage of American postmodern dance masters, is a natural expansion of this impulse. Petronio is now focused on a dialogue that speaks to the larger context of his foundations.
