Premiering MASS TRANSIT

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.

Workshop of DISCARD


Image by Stacey Adams

Perezian Geometry  /  Highways  /  Santa Monica

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.

DANCE MAGAZINE REVIEW!!! -By Victoria Looseleaf

Tribute to Rudy Perez.
Premiering SURRENDER DOROTHY

Luckman Fine Arts Complex
5151 State University Drive
Los Angeles, CA 90032-8116
(323)343.6600

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.


Ticket price: $30
