Premiering MIXED MARRIAGES
In Mixed Marriages, lovers & collaborators of 8 years, Project Runway Designer Andrae Gonzalo & Choreographer Jamie Benson use juxtaposition to exploit the arc of their relationship, dramatizing everything from their servant origins (rich/poor) to their, as of 2 weeks ago, long distance relationship (NY/LA). Performance break down on the Repertory Page.
Bootleg Dance Festival / Bootleg Theater / Los Angeles
The Bootleg Theater presents Jamie Benson & Andrae Gonzalo's Mass Transit, a wildly
theatrical, 40-minute performance installation directly inspired by real life
Metro happenings. Through overlapping vignettes of dance, gesture, noise, and
movement, Benson's hybrid-brand of choreography infuses classic and barbaric
dance techniques with a vaudevillian performance shtick to create a bastardized
Broadway experience.
In a frenzied exercise of physical and emotional stamina,
Jamie Benson introduces a new infectious dance solo called Discard. Inspired by Mr. Perez’s choreographic process of
incorporating the use of space, focus, energy along with the bare experience of
movement, Benson adds a linear emotional context in order to further dissect
jazz and modern dance forms.
Tribute to Rudy Perez.

Dorothy, the new work by famed post-modern choreographer Rudy Perez, is a collaboration between Liquid Skin Ensemble and members of the Rudy Perez Ensemble.
One of the co-founders of New York's
experimental Judson Dance Theatre, a coterie of artists who would
define boundary-breaking "downtown" aesthetics in 1962, Perez continues
to chart an unwavering course where pedestrian moves transcend the
mundane to reveal bold, deep ideas.
