In summer/fall 2017, Tere O’Connor Dance will create Long Run, which will premiere at the Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College from October 13-15. Created with eight dancers, the work is co-commissioned by presenting partners, the Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College, Skirball Center for the Performing Arts at NYU, and the American Dance Festival. Historical structures, beloved landscapes and imagined places converge to inspire O’Connor’s choreographic strategies for this work. In the resultant illusory space, devoid of human architectural imprint, he ponders new possibilities for interaction. Together with a stellar cast, he will draw on the turbulent dynamics of our present to push the emotional content of his movement style to new physical extremes. O'Connor will collaborate with visual artist Strauss Bourque La France on the costume design and Micheal O’Connor on the lighting design. The score for the work will be created by James Baker. Estimated artist fee: $25,000/performance, $35,000/week.
