June 10 – Film and television actor Claire Danes introduces an innovative new inclusive dance/theater piece commissioned by VSA from Tamar Rogoff Performance Projects. Rogoff draws her choreographic inspiration from Afternoon of a Faun and dancer Gregg Mozgala’s first-hand experience with cerebral palsy to create a creature that inhabits two worlds simultaneously. As Rogoff’s Faun moves through the seemingly disparate spheres of the operating room and the forest in the company of dancers, doctors, humans, and nymphs, the curse of separation between medicine and art is gently lifted. Dancers Emily Pope-Blackman and Lucie Baker, as well as Dr. Don Kollisch, round out this cast.
