Stephen Petronio Company at The Joyce Theater

Streaming On-Demand Thursday, MAY 13 through Wednesday, MAY 26

Stephen Petronio Company is proud to present five dance works newly created or reimagined in the wake of the global pandemic. All works were filmed on site at the Petronio Residency Center and Hudson Hall in upstate New York. These works express a longing for human connection and highlight the unique ways a body in motion can transcend our current moment. The program features two versions of a new duet, Are You Lonesome Tonight, and a Petronio solo from 1993 titled Love Me Tender, all set to the homonymous songs performed by Elvis Presley. Petronio will also debut a new work-in-progress, New Prayer For Now, with music by Monstah Black. Completing the program is Trisha Brown's 1973 work, Group Primary Accumulation, which marks the 12th restaged work of Bloodlines, an autobiographical project honoring the lineage of American postmodern dance.
