Amanda Selwyn Dance Theatre to Present Fall 2022 Open Rehearsal Featuring HABIT FORMED

Amanda Selwyn Dance Theatre announced their Fall 2022 Open Rehearsal, featuring the developing work Habit Formed, on November 15, 2022 at 6:30 p.m. at Gibney Studios, 280 Broadway, NYC. Join the artists and board of Amanda Selwyn Dance Theatre for an intimate look at the creative process followed by a wine and cheese reception.

Habit Formed will use repetition, motif, and variation to create a moving landscape that explores how habits are created and broken in our lives. These habits create both freedom and restriction. Repeated group sections with small changes and mounting physical structures (gates, walls, netting) will embody the ways in which we, as humans, are habit forming creatures. The structures will be unpacked over the course of the evening through a playful, athletic, and sensuous movement vocabulary.

This preview of Habit Formed is part of Amanda Selwyn Dance Theatre's 23rd Annual Performance Season. The full evening-length work will premiere in 2024 at New York Live Arts.

Featuring Scenic and Costume design by Anna-Alisa Belous, Lighting Design by Dan Ozminkowski, and Sound Design by Joel Wilhelmi.

Dancers: Torrey Harada, Manon Hallay, Misaki Hayama, David Hochberg, Isaac Kerr, Minseon Kim, Ashley McQueen, Michael Miles, Oscar Antonio Rodriguez, Lauren Russo, and John Trunfio.
