Wendy Whelan & Brian Brooks with Brooklyn Rider at Shubert Theater

Co-commissioned by International Festival of Arts & Ideas, The Joyce Theater, and Modlin Center for the Arts a the University of Richmond, this new full-length work was created by Wendy Whelan, former New York City Ballet principal and dancer/choreographer Brian Brooks. Whelan and Brooks previously collaborated on the duet “First Fall” for “Restless Creature,” each taking creative risks in unfamiliar territory; classical and contemporary dance, respectively. This new work of solos and duets represents a continuation and extension of their exploration. Brooklyn Rider, the New York City-based string quartet, will perform live.

“Everything about her (Whelan) is riveting, interesting, unusual, and intelligent.”
