In his new evening-length work, choreographer Jordan Demetrius Lloyd – noted as one of Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch” for 2023 – transforms Danspace’s sanctuary inside St. Mark’s Church into a site of fantasy and textural collage. Lloyd returns to presenting work in a theater for the first time since the pandemic, organizing his desires around choreographic and visual design, storytelling, philosophy, and various contemporary performance aesthetics.
Lloyd divides an eight person ensemble into an amalgamation of solos, duets, and trios that are threaded together to produce experiences of calculated entropy and disorientation via an intuitive shifting of language and logic. Hinting at a sense of drama and otherworldliness, Lloyd looks forward to activating all elements of the sanctuary space: doors, windows, lights, and sounds.
Lloyd was an inaugural 2021-2022 Renewal Residency artist at Danspace.
