Premiering MASS TRANSIT

Bootleg Dance Festival / Bootleg Theater / Los AngelesThe 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
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.

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.
