Sarah Michelson/Richard Maxwell: Devotion February 17, 2011

Choreographer Sarah Michelson and playwright/director Richard Maxwell are both known for strangely transfixing, fiercely uncompromising productions that can't happen anywhere except live onstage. While Michelson is acclaimed for visually striking, expansive spectacles such as 'Daylight' (For Minneapolis) the aesthetic and language in Maxwell's plays range from profound to deceptively simple. Collaborating for the first time, the pair bringsits seemingly divergent visions to a story ballet written by Maxwell, which inspired Michelson to create this new work for her company of dancers and Maxwell's veteran actor/performers.
