Summary:

BIG DANCE: SHORT FORM is Big Dance Theater, distilled. BDT returns to its dance roots for its 25th anniversary celebration, theatrically re-imagining the conventions of a repertory program. Big Dance: Short Form presents the company's unique blend of dance-theater on an intimate scale, with a fifteen minute birthday party at its center. Intermission will never be the same. Inspired by disciplines of the concise -- novellas, folk tales, diary entries, pencil drawings, thumbnail sketches and the single page of a notebook -- Big Dance performs five distinct short works, each a New York premiere, that embrace the brief, granular, close range, anecdotal and microscopic. Downsizing is prized. Solos, duets and group work feature the beloved, veteran Big Dance performers who, under the artistic leadership of Annie-B Parson and Paul Lazar, have honed a distinctive performance style that has influenced the downtown scene in NYC for the last 25 years.
