Conditions (2018)

Commissioned by Women In Motion.

Premiere: West End Theater, NY, part of Soaking Wet series and WiM
Choreography & Performance: Rebecca Lazier
Duration: 20 minutes

Conditions asks how to confront, interpret and accept bodily limitations. A recent life-threatening boating accident revealed what happens when the body fails and prompted Lazier’s questioning the conditions that form the substrata for movement and researching where limits reside. From immutable realities to pliable perceptions that shape experience and shifting emotional landscapes, how do we adapt to given conditions while remaining empathetic and evolving a language of possibility? This solo is the premiere of what will become an evening-length piece.
