FACULTY ARTIST RECITAL
Few topics seem to be out of bounds for choreographer David Dorfman. In more than 25 years of dance-making, he has investigated all manner of subjects, from the nature of athleticism to the big ideas that define our humanity. Despite the serious nature of these inquiries, his dances are alive with humor and the unbridled joy of movement. Come, and Back Again is an exploration of vulnerability, mortality and the virtuosity required to live daily life. Driven by the charged poetry and unapologetic, raw ferocity of the underground ’90s Atlanta band Smoke, five dancers and five onstage musicians embark on a kinetic anthem of reckless personal abandon, exploring how time and memory influence and define our slippery, elastic existence. e members of the live band will inhabit the stage with the dancers, which includes Dorfman playing the roles of both dancer and saxophonist. David Dorfman says, “Come, and Back Again has been a lovely, twisted road of passionate pursuit for me and for the company and collaborators. We began with an adoration of poetic rock and roll as evidenced by Patti Smith among others. We’ve ended up with a dance about mess, joy, loss and survival of love at all costs.” Join the artists for a Talk Back following the November 1 performance.
The presentation of Come, and Back Again is made possible by the New England Foundation for the Arts’ National Dance Project, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation and The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Facing page: David Dorfman Dance photo by Adam Campos

K. LEAR
Jeff Kaplan, choreographer Saturday, November 2, 2013 . 3PM & 7:30PM Sunday, November 3, 2013 . 3PM Dance Theatre . FREE
TDPS graduate students present three solo works in this one-of-a-kind concert. What did I do this morning? is an interdisciplinary work that explores the narratives that new technology has brought up to rename human experience. In Figure Eights, playful yet sensitive dreamlike memory landscapes emerge and vanish, blur through the space, sharpen into detail and are recreated obsessively like the ‘rewind’ and ‘play’ features on a VCR. K. Lear is Act III (e “Storm Scene”) of Shakespeare’s King Lear performed in its entirety as a solo in a straitjacket. A TDPS Second Season Production.
