In the lounge Tea Party Teaser! Wonder/Through The Looking-Glass Houses Arrie Davidson and KineticArchitecture Dance Theatre
About This Show
In advance of the world premiere of the full work in December at Dixon Place, join us in the lounge for a Sneak Peek of Wonder/Through the Looking-Glass Houses inspired by the tales of Lewis Carroll. But this is not the world of a child’s dream. Here, our darker thoughts demand an audience. The White Rabbit represents phantom icons never in the right place at the right time. And the seemingly whimsical Tea Party is attended with the horrific realization guests are stuck in time. Alice’s journey is the double-edged sword of reflection. Her desire to navigate this mirror world awakens two souls trapped on the same side in a hellish Tweedle-paradox. An identity crisis resembling Burning Man at Versailles.

KineticArchitecture Dance Theatre, a not-for-profit, (501c3), focuses on the development and presentation of new work that is artistically progressive and socially relevant in nature. The goal is to invigorate audiences with the power inherent in Dance Theatre. The urge to move is both primal and universal. It can serve as common ground for physical poetry that inspires true self acceptance along with respect and understanding of all people. Ours is a mission which strives to transcend and transform.
