Cynthia Oliver / COCo Dance Theatre

Dance Place

Cynthia Oliver creates performance collages that move from dance to word to sound and back again toward an eclectic and provocative dance theatre. BOOM!, a new duet, features Oliver and Leslie Cuyjet as individuals, friends, strangers, family, younger/older versions of themselves, negotiating relations that are persistently in flux. Building upon a non-linear sequence of narratives around a life and a relationship – of a woman to herself, her history, her present and future, BOOM! is a choreography of shifting realities – a looping, fractured unfolding, examining notions of destiny, when LIFE happens, when “fairness” and cause and effect do not necessarily align.
