Wexner Center for the Arts Presents Tere O’Connor
Sep 21–Sep 23
Wexner Center for the Arts
Tere O’Connor
Rivulets
Uncompromising and ever-changing, Tere O’Connor is the consummate New York City choreographer whose chief concern is “endlessly evolving, flowering complexity.
Says O’Connor,“I have often looked at the tension between unison and non-unison movement as a communicative engine in dance, creating works of great intensity using extreme unison to document the oppressive systems imposed on humans. My focus on the unison/non-unison binary is an enactment of the real human choice between an organized, obedient life and/or freedom.” For Rivulets, O’Connor chooses freedom and attempts to jettison unison entirely in a new
work for seven dancers that the New York Times described as “masterly choreographic design producing its own diffusion, an orderly entropy.”
