Trajal Harrell
Twenty Looks or Paris is Burning at the Judson Church (XS)
7.00PM | Segal Theatre
"...just enough chinks in his armor of struts, jutting hips, and commanding gazes to remind us that the most startling power of performance often lives in its exquisite vulnerability." The New York Times
"What would have happened in 1963 if someone from the Voguing dance tradition in Harlem had come down to Judson Church to perform alongside the early postmoderns?” is the proposition for Trajal Harrell’s series of dances that comes in five sizes- Extra Small (XS), Small (S), Medium (M), Larger (L), and Extra Large (XL). The (XS) is a twenty-five minute solo danced by the choreographer and proposed when finished for a maximum audience of fifty seated on the floor of the theater stage, gallery floor, or in the corner of the room.

Trajal Harrell’s choreographic works have been seen at The New Museum, Danspace Project, Dance Theater Workshop, The Kitchen, PS122, Art Basel-Miami Beach, The Margulies Art Warehouse, and internationally in France, the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, and Mexico. Since 2001, he has been developing a body of work which links the Voguing dance tradition and early Postmodern dance. In this direction, he has created four evening length works: Notes on Less than Zero (2004), Showpony (2007), Quartet for the End of Time (2008), and Twenty Looks or Paris is Burning at The Judson Church (S) (2009). betatrajal.org
Upcoming: “Twenty Looks or Paris is Burning at The Judson Church (XS) and (M)”, February 9-12, 2011 @ The Kitchen.
