Vanishing Point (Excerpts): Zach Morris and Tom Pearson of Third Rail Projects

Tuesday, August 11 at 7:00pm
Zach Morris and Tom Pearson of Third Rail Projects,
Site-Specific Dance

Woodside-based choreographers Zach Morris and Tom Pearson of Third Rail Projects perform excerpts from their Bessie-awarded Vanishing Point. The piece uses aggressive, exhaustive movement, meditative nuance, and live music by the alt-bluegrass ensemble The Dang-it Bobbys, led by composer Kris Bauman. Fully self-aware and handled with equal measures of sincerity and irreverence, the performance unfolds as a fictional funeral. Roslyn Sulcas of the New York Times calls Vanishing Point “the dance equivalent of a peaceful, ruminative discussion with a few close friends, drinks in hand”
