Diversities in Practice

Have any questions?
Wexner Center Artist Residency Award recipient Tere O’Connor continues his 40-year-long exploration of the expansive human mind in the Midwest premiere of Rivulets.
Uncompromising and ever-changing, Tere O’Connor is the consummate New York City choreographer whose chief concern is “endlessly evolving, flowering complexity.” In the Wex-supported Rivulets, O’Connor’s choreography celebrates the unruly nature of consciousness. Developed in collaboration with the eight dancers and featuring a score composed by O’Connor himself, Rivulets attempts to jettison unison movement entirely to embrace a new kind of freedom. Don’t miss this fascinating evening of dance the New York Times called a “masterly choreographic design producing its own…orderly entropy.” (program approx. 60 mins.)
Stay after Friday’s performance for a Q&A session, and join us September 19 for a Diversities in Practice artist talk with O’Connor followed by a Q&A moderated by Ohio State’s Abby Zbikowski, a past recipient of the Wexner Center Artist Residency Award.
