A co-presentation with Lumberyard Center for Film & Performing Arts
In her latest evening-length work Rambler, Worlds Worlds A Part choreographer Kathy
Westwater extends her exploration, which began over twenty years ago, of pain and the body,
including the pain of others. Here Westwater invites the dance artists in the work to explore
their personal experiences of pain and trauma.
While contemplating if it is possible to fully communicate the experience of one’s own
pain—and its opposite, bliss—or to fully know another’s, the cast of dancers responds to and
celebrates the profound music of post-minimalist composer Julius Eastman.
