YASMEEN GODDER
November 11 at 7PM
November 12 at 7PM
New Theater (1156 Chapel Street)
SINGULAR SENSATION
US Premiere
In the hyper-informed, self-conscious world of “look at me,” how can we know who we are, or manage to find a true thrill or deep connection to sensation? In Singular Sensation, five individuals explore the range of sensation—from the artificial to the authentic—and push the boundaries of their own numbness to provoke a singular sensation in each other and themselves.
Israeli-born Yasmeen Godder studied American modern and postmodern dance, performance art, and performance theory in New York City before returning to her home country. For nearly a decade, she has transformed these principles to comment incisively on the politics and culture of Israel.
The running time for Singular Sensation is approximately 1 hour.

MOVEMENT PERFORMANCE AND DANCE THEATRE, OR, (WHERE) SHOULD THE COMMAS GO?
November 10, 2008 at 5:30 PM
Rudolph Hall, 180 York St Rm 350
Peggy Phelan considers the points of contact between theatre, performance, dance, and movement in some contemporary dance. Concentrating on the legacy of Judson Dance Theatre on the one hand, and Pina Bausch on the other, the talk considers the relative benefits and the possible futility of maintaining distinctions between dance, performance, theatre, and movement when thinking about contemporary work.
