Photography: Maria Baranova \n\nVISITATION\nChoreographed by John Jasperse  \nSeptember 9 and 10\, 2022 at 7:30PM\nNYU Skirball presents John Jasperse Projects\, in the world premiere of Visitation\, a new dance that is part seance and part exorcism\, on Friday\, September 9 and Saturday\, September 10 at 7:30 pm.  Choreographed by John Jasperse\, Visitation was created in collaboration with performers Tim Bendernagel\, Cynthia Koppe\, and Doug LeCours with original music by composer-collaborator Hahn Rowe and recorded music by Richard Wagner and lighting design by Stan Pressner. \nVisitation loosely draws on spiritualism\, mesmerism\, the occult\, hysteria\, and the exoticization of myth. The dance vacillates between pensive\, introspective sensing and lush\, at times even rhapsodic\, sequences of cascading movement that verge on camp. By channeling ghosts\, the dance moves from present day\, into the past\, and back again. Original music by Jasperse’s long-time collaborator Hahn Rowe is interspersed with orchestral fragments from various operas by Richard Wagner.  \nChoreographed by John Jasperse\, Visitation was created in collaboration with performers Tim Bendernagel\, Cynthia Koppe\, and Doug LeCours with original music by composer-collaborator Hahn Rowe and recorded music by Richard Wagner and lighting design by Stan Pressner.  Photography: Maria Baranova \nThe complex\, polarizing figure of Wagner and his music functions with Visitation as both occasional musical accompaniment and an historical object; as the dance sinks into the sweeping chromaticism of Wagner’s immersive sound\, we cannot help but recall how the power of his music\, and the emotions that it conjured\, were appropriated in support of pivotal historical actions\, at times heinously destructive and at other times emancipatory. As we emerge from this musical time-traveling into the present\, we are left to ponder how our own feelings carry us into action as we shape our collective future. \nJohn Jasperse has been working as a dance artist in New York City for 37 years. He has created nineteen evening-length works with John Jasperse Projects as well as numerous commissions for other companies including Baryshnikov’s White Oak Dance Project\, Batsheva Dance Company\, and Lyon Opera Ballet. John Jasperse Projects has been presented in 26 U.S. cities and 29 countries. He is the recipient of a 2014 Doris Duke Artist Award and two Bessie awards (2014 and 2001)\, among many other accolades. Jasperse is co-founder of CPR—Center for Performance Research in Brooklyn\, New York and is Director of Dance at Sarah Lawrence College.   \nThe creation of Visitation as well as its performances at NYU Skirball and other activities of John Jasperse Projects are supported\, in part\, by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Cultural Development Fund of the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs\, the New York State Council on the Arts\, the James E. Robison Foundation\, the Kyle J. Mulrooney Foundation\, the Lion & Hare Foundation\, a Late Stage Production Grant from the Joyce Mertz-Gilmore Foundation\, and individual contributions.
