Rebecca Stenn / PerksDanceMusicTheatre

Delightfully blurring the distinction between musicians and dancers, Rebecca Stenn melds rock, funk, new and classical music with athletic and illusion-based dance. Stenn, formerly of Momix and Pilobolus, and her company dazzle with wit, charm and pure, fiery dance. They warm up the winter with The Joyce-commissioned world premiere, The Seventh Wave, a deliberately quirky look at the simpler things in life; birth, death and evolution, as well as their signature work, The Carmen Suites, an exuberant send-up of the grand old opera.
