Created and performed by Angie Hauser and Darrell Jones, in collaboration with Bebe Miller.
Fable is a duet performance revealing the persistent interpersonal subtext and physical mutuality that drive our particular mode of artistic inquiry. As such, it connects an audience to their own experiences of creative partnerships. It’s filtered through the collaboration between Miller, Hauser, and Jones that began with the New York Dance and Performance “Bessie” Award-winning Verge (2001), and acknowledges their independent investigations and practices.
Fable probes findings from a 25-year perspective on the contexts of art making through the body over a lifetime, exposing the collision of their internal processes as dance artists, friends, and citizens. The title references Hauser and Jones’ signature duet Fable from Landing/Place (2005), later reimagined in A History (2012). Music, video, and performances from these archival works are tethers linking emergent creative practices from 2001’s Verge to this new work. It shares that vulnerability in an interactive format, creating something new.
(Also on the program: Maurya Kerr/tinypistol's comet, whom I love, and Fast Craft: Still Unlike Diving, a new duet by Rachael Lincoln and Leslie Seiters developed during micro-residencies with dance-makers including Miller.)
