Flutter
World Premiere
September 18 - 21 at 8pm
The Chocolate Factory Theater
Through the creation and presentation of Flutter, MVworks is pursuing a genuine performance style and exploring themes of individuality, vulnerability and compassion. Compositionally Flutter places non-narrative dance next to, within, and following story-driven content. The interaction between these elements creates elusive plot lines that ebb and flow throughout the dance. Much of the movement for the work has been individually crafted for each performer based on their personality, preferences and habits.

I'm Nobody! Who Are You? (2011)
Maya Ciarrocchi
Feb - May, 2012
Opening Reception Feb 2, 6pm
New York Live Arts
Originally presented at The Chocolate Factory, I'm Nobody! Who Are You? will be reconceived for the New York Live Arts Ford Foundation Live Gallery Wall. The installation is comprised of a series of life-sized video portraits of subjects who make up the fabric of New York Live Arts, including mvworks Artistic Director, Megan V. Sprenger. The portraits frame visible shifts in emotional response as the subject reacts over time for an imagined viewer through the lens of the objective, ever present, camera. For the viewer, the tension of watching and being watched only subsides when he or she allows for a state of suspension away from place, time, and narrative. The title of the work, adopted from an Emily Dickinson poem of the same name, is a question about identity and whether or not a mediated image can adequately reflect a subject's reality.
