Subject In Two Parts
Subject: Part I (excerpt) Subject: Part II (excerpt) Review of Subject Part One by Chris Dohse Subject In Two Parts (2008) was created in collaboration with director Greg Giovanni and dancers Meg Foley, John Luna, Lorin Lyle, and Rebecca Sloan and premiered in Philadelphia in May 2008. Subject in Two Parts is a study of the performative nature of identity and the fragmented and slippery subject that is created by continuous exposure to media and mediation. Bridge and fellow dancers invoke figures as diverse as performance artist Carolee Schneeman, the mother of writer William S. Burroughs, and cultural icon Marilyn Monroe to create a work that is funny, dark, sexy, and smart. The full work consists of a solo and quartet with small set and simple rigging, but the two sections may also be presented independently as: Subject: Part One solo (performed by Bridge) with video and small set, 17 minutes Subject: Part Two quartet (performed by Foley, Luna, Lyle, and Sloan) with video and screen which requires simple rigging, 30 minutes. | ||||
