Cranky Bodies a/company pays tribute to Mary Overlie, the original anarchist of postmodern dance, by reviving her legendary horizontal laboratory, where dance, sound, costume and sculpture interact in ever-changing contexts.
In an installative performance with new transitional sculptures by Michiel Keuper, the dancers articulate six points of view: Space, Form, Time, Movement, Emotion and Narrative. Variable floor patterns and spaces are created and filled with solos, duos and group scores.
The interdisciplinary ensemble Cranky Bodies a/company consists of dancers and artists who have been working together in various constellations since 2014.
