Shared program by choreographers Alexandra Beller and Adele Myers.
Alexandra Beller's unique blend of passionate movement and demanding text is performed by a startling, multifaceted and multicultural company. The premiere of a new company work, what comes after happy, challenges the American obsession with happiness, deconstructing self-help manuals, spiritual guidance, and children's television in an effort to find out why we must be so happy.
Combining humor with robust athleticism and social commentary, Adele Myers transforms the theater with her dance for six women into an intimate and accessible space. Myers' satirical premiere of Is That All There Is, exposes the cracks of the happily-after-after, pushing the performers to extremes and asking, Do you lose it, or keep it together?
