Battery Dance celebrates its 40th anniversary with a world premiere, The Durga Project, directed by its founder, Jonathan Hollander.
The Durga Project weaves together the movement vocabularies and aesthetics of the U.S. and India into a choreographic fantasy of 30 minutes with Indian Guest artist Unnath H.R. and a commissioned score by Frank Carlberg. Other works on the program are “Inter/Ago” by Tadej Brdnik, (former Principal of the Martha Graham Dance Company and a member of Battery Dance since 1998) and “Observatory” by Theo Ndindwa, of South Africa’s iKapa Dance Theatre.
