One of Doug Varone and Dancers most powerful works...

This week's Wednesday showing will feature 'Home' on Vimeo for 24 hours. For all future showings, look out for a link here on Wednesday nights at 8pm EST to enjoy the work on Vimeo - no password needed. A word about 'Home' from the Chicago Tribune...

"Varone has a uniquely conversational style of dance: his dancers look as if they're talking in movement. Home could be a single 12-minute conversation--it looked to me at first like a director's wordless blocking of a crucial scene--or it could be months or years of conversations, whole huge cycles of rejection and rapprochement telescoped. What you see, no matter how you interpret them, are layers and layers of anger, yearning, hurt, brought out by Varone's unusually lyrical and metaphoric use of body language. Home surprised me into great emotion the first time I saw it; I relived its most painful moments for days afterward.”

After careful consideration of current projections regarding the COVID-19 outbreak, Skidmore College and Doug Varone and Dancers have made the difficult decision to cancel the Summer Workshop at Skidmore College this June. All advance registration and program fees for summer programming will be refunded. We very much regret the necessity for this action and share in the disappointment it brings, but the well-being of our local and global community must be our highest priority. We look forward to a time very soon when we can safely be together.

Grateful to our dear friend Trisha Brown and all those who traveled with her or followed in her footsteps. We are hoping everyone is safe and finding their own moments of ‘Roof Piece’ inspiration.

Communication across distance is the essential component of this 1971 dance, Brown’s company has found. You and your friends can try, too.
