ZviDance (Zvi Gotheiner, Choreographer and Artistic Director) presents The Art of Fugue, an evening-length, multimedia dance performance collaboration between Zvi Gotheiner, composer Scott Killian, lighting designer Mark London, media designer Joshua Higgason, and eight dancers. Johann Sebastian Bach's "The Art of Fugue" is a point of departure for Gotheiner's choreographic exploration, which highlights the individual contribution of each of his creative team members. In music, a fugue is a contrapuntal composition in which a short melody is introduced by one voice and successively taken up by others; Gotheiner introduces this compositional structure as a metaphor to portray a non-hierarchical society. Killian integrates electronic original music with Bach, anchoring the work in contemporary culture. Higgason's live and pre-recorded video projection adds an additional "voice" to the complexity of the canonic composition. The Art of the Fugue will have a live staged premiere on November 11-13, 2021 (Thu and Fri at 7:30pm, Sat at 2pm and 7:30pm) at at New York Live Arts, 219 W 19th St., New York, NY. Tickets are $25 general admission and $18 for students and senior and are available for purchase at . newyorklivearts.org/event/zvidance-the-art-of-fugue/
