Oni Dance

Led by artistic director Maria Gillespie, Los Angeles-based Oni Dance returns to Joyce SoHo to present three NYC premieres. Saliendo is a short dance for the camera, co-directed by Gillespie and director of photography, Kristy Tully. A companion piece to Saliendo, La Hora de Salir is a suite of movement installments prying into the psychological and physical mechanics of leaving. The Splendor of Gretel features an original music score composed by Ginormous and set design by Michael Berens. Gretel is a theatrical departure for Gillespie as she allows fairy tale narrative to unravel under a movable set that also serves as the lighting for the dance.
