Nail Biters features dancers, Beth Gill, Jordan Demetrius Lloyd, Jennifer Lafferty, Maggie Cloud and Marilyn Maywald Yahel.
NYU Skirball will present the NYC premiere of Nail Biter, choreographed by Beth Gill, on Friday, April 12 and Saturday, April 13 at 7:30 pm at NYU Skirball.
Nail Biter moves the viewer through portals of myth, memoir, psychodrama, and horror. Characters emerge as a collection of representations of our collective unconscious as the work pierces through the existential weight of our time and channels our contemporary angst and anxiety.
Nail Biters features dancers, Beth Gill, Jordan Demetrius Lloyd, Jennifer Lafferty, Maggie Cloud and Marilyn Maywald Yahel with music by Jon Moniaci, costumes by Baille Younkman, and lighting by Thomas Dunn.
