John Jasperse – Canyon
Sometimes our artists-in-residence use their time here to put the finishing touches on a piece right before its premiere. When that’s the timing, work-in-progress showings become more of a pre-premiere — you get to see what is essentially a finished work.
Such will be the case on Saturday, August 27, at 8 PM when choreographer John Jasperse presents his work-in-progress showing of Canyon which will premiere in September at the Philly Fringe Festival. Canyon will have its New York premier at BAM’s 2011 Next Wave Festival on November 14th-19th. The work includes music by Hahn Rowe, visual design by Tony Orrico and lighting by James Clotfelter.

As a part of the Contemporary Artistic Process: Explored and Revealed Series, John Jasperse is embarking on a series of Open Rehearsals, which will follow the trajectory of a new evening-length performance work Canyon as it develops over the coming year.
The event is free and open to the public, and will feature a live rehearsal of the work in development followed by a discussion with the artists and the audience. The open rehearsal process affords the public a look into the sometimes serpentine process of creation.
Canyon
Created by John Jasperse in collaboration with the performers Lindsay Clark, Erin Cornell, Kennis Hawkins, Burr Johnson, James McGinn and John Jasperse
Music: Hahn Rowe
Visual Design: Tony Orrico in collaboration with Jasperse
Lighting Design: James Clotfelter in collaboration with Jasperse

Documentation of the rehearsal process will be available through John Jasperse’s blog where audience members may further respond to the work at http://johnjasperse.org/blog
