Reach II, 2004 Sport jerseys, gym mat, vinyl on floor.

Here is a closer view of Reach II on stage at the Joyce Theater. Originally "Reach II" was part of the 2004 exhibition "Open House" at the Brooklyn Museum curated by Charlotta Kotik and Tumelo Mosaka. If anyone has been to a Merce Cunningham performance they will know that chance plays an important role in his choreography. At the Joyce Theater, each nights performance introduced certain elements that were responded to and improvised by the dancers. One being the art, or "decor" as they called it, along with the music and the costumes of the dancers. The night this piece was shown it was accompanied by music composed by Ikue Mori and Marina Rosenfeld. I'm not up on modern dance but being an ex break dancer I appreciate it and enjoyed myself. I also got a chance to go back stage and meet the man himself. Very exciting.....here's the link to a short mention of the performance in the Village Voice. http://www.villagevoice.com/dance/0452,188286,59613,14.html
