Dance Theater Workshop Studio Series
jill sigman/thinkdance will perform excerpts from ZsaZsaLand, a developing work which will premiere in 2009.
Jill Sigman creates a hallucinatory, channel-flipping reality that asks: what is the "dis-ease" that exists beneath our abundant American "paradise"? Accompanied by live mixing by DJ joro de boro, ZsaZsaLand is a jumbled hyperbolic world filled with Roma (gypsy) music and dance, Youtube sound clips, auctions, thugs, and vibrant technicolor vines.
Dance Theater Workshop is located at:
219 West 19th Street
New York, NY 10011

Jill will be performing in 40* Phi Performance Expedition - Live Art in the Parks: http://www.myspace.com/40pt
Upcoming in 2009: 2 new works
ZsaZsaLand will be a
full evening dance theater work that draws upon Sigman's
experience last summer, studying Roma (gypsy) dance in
Valjevo, Serbia, and working outdoors as an Artist in
Residence at the Guapamacátaro Residency on a rural hacienda
in Michoacán, Mexico.
Our Lady of Detritus, a portable
performance installation which will be made for a truck or
food cart, will deal with themes of trash and transcendence.
