tough, the tough

Many of you probably know David Neumann or saw him last week in Adrienne Truscott’s they will use the highways. Well, this just came in about David Neumann’s upcoming new work:

Bessie Award-winner David Neumann teams up with acclaimed filmmaker and composer Hal Hartley and award-winning playwright Will Eno to bring us his new multi-disciplinary dance-based work, tough, the tough. Articulated in space through gesture, proximity and language, tough, the tough is a journey on the continuum between one’s inner life and one’s external articulations: inadequate, brave and remote. Familiar routines expose the cognitive maps and geo-political boundaries that define imaginary landscapes inside us and out. Neumann is joined by dancers Kimiye Corwin, Taryn Griggs, Karinne Keithley, Erin Wilson, and Chris Yon in performance. Lighting designer David Moodey, costume designer Miho Nikaido, and sound designer Justin Kawashima round out his creative team. www.advancedbeginnergroup.org
