Tina Croll + Company returns to New York this spring with the showing of two signature choreographic works, "She Rides a Tiger" and "Ancient Springs" in a shared program with Ani Javian and Benjamin Roach. Five Tina Croll + Company dancers will appear in each performance. • She Rides a Tiger (2012) refers to the Hindu goddess Durga, "The Invincible." She is the warrior goddess depicted in the Hindu pantheon riding a tiger. She has eight arms each carrying a weapon. Sensuous and beautiful, but nevertheless the fierce form of the protective Divine mother. Music is by Arvo Part. • Ancient Springs (abridged in 2015) Diving down the rabbit hole - a collage of dark and light episodes for five dancers. Inspired by Federico Fellini’s La Strada and poet Kathleen Raine’s Defending Ancient Springs. Composed of vignettes, this piece examines abstract and non-narrative methods of storytelling through movement and sound. Tina Croll is a founding member of Dance Theater Workshop.
