Last Dance

Three performers enter an empty stage and recite poetry by a disco queen. With a single microphone and minimal choreography, the performers recover dances they’ve almost forgotten. Last Dance investigates loss as a part of every performance. With performers/collaborators Emilio Martinez Lopez, Marion Ramirez, and Anthony Whitehurst, Last Dance insists on the most enduring characteristic of every performer in every show–presence.
Last Dance previewed at CUNY Graduate Center’s Prelude 08, a festival of contemporary theater and performance. Presented by Moving Theater in association with Park Avenue Armory.
