Compromised manifests the polarization we are witnessing on the political stage, the extremism of the conflicting truths as seen by Left and Right.  Can they both be right?  Are they both wrong?  Polarization and the concept of compromise are translated into movement, exposing the contradictions we are feeling, both between us and within. Osserman collaborates with three favorite dancers on these premiere performances.
Performers:  
Lauren Ferguson, Cara Heerdt, Milan Misko, and Wendy Osserman
Lighting Design:  Philip W. Sandstrom
Costumes & Set Design: Zuzka Kurtz


 

"Modern dance, to "Free as a Bird"? Perhaps not the usual stuff of a John Lennon tribute concert... The Wendy Osserman company presented a free-flowing duet to "Free as a Bird," nicely capturing the whimsical song's mood." NEW YORK TIMES, 11/13/10
