choreographer: Robert Battle"A stillness, a place in time, transformational
moments intersecting, circling, reincarnated."This performance is set on two men and two women and explores the fragmented aspects of love through abstract gestures and the sometimes subtle, sometimes explosive interaction that expresses the complexities and elusive journey of the heart.

No Fear of Flying

With this season's restaging, Dendy has added a new segment to the work inspired by middle American housewives allowing the dancers to move from Diva to Really Desperate Housewives using that most humble of tools - the ironing board. Originally including pop tunes such as Nancy Sinatra's These Boots are made for Walking and Peggy Lee's Fever this version adds Loretta Lynn's One's On the Way.Enfold
premiere 2001
choreographer: Zvi Gotheiner
Enfold illuminates the world of a couple entwined with a modern romantic duet featuring music of legendary 40's German cabaret singer, Zarah Leander, that captures the symbolism of love and romance, and the pull and tug between a couple.
