A Place of Sun

“The setup was striking, as are Ms. Bland’s muscled, diverse performers; if the “Matrix” franchise had a dance team, this would be it.”
- The New York Times


A Place Of Sun was created under the Baryshnikov Arts Center and the Jerome Robbins NEW Fellow program in 2012 and premiered at the Baryshnikov Arts Center/Jerome Robbins Theater. A Place Of Sun was inspired by the BP oil spill of 2010, this piece looks at our power of adaptation. Collaborating with artist Benjamin Heller and set to Karol Szymanowski’s choral work “Stabat Mater” this fusion of the visual and physical arts enables a journey of destruction and discovery in a new habitat.
