Sara Pearson/Patrik Widrig Dance Company

Sara Pearson / Patrik Widrig and Company Over the last thirteen years, Sara Pearson / Patrik Widrig and Company has gained an international following for work which draws on a variety of cultures - pushing rituals of the familiar toward the mysterious, the subversive, and the intimate. In addition to having created over thirty company, duet, and solo works for the proscenium theater, they have become well-known for their intriguing site-specific dances which have taken them from rowboats in Central Park to the Great Lawn at Jacob's Pillow to fern forests in New Zealand. In a company of six to twelve dancers which embraces numerous nationalities and languages, with specializations ranging from professional gymnastics to interactive technology design, dance theater performance "at its funniest and most compelling" (Neue Znrcher Zeitung, Switzerland) is created. Year 2001-2002 engagements include tours throughout New England and the Mid-Atlantic region, a site-specific community project at Wave Hill in the Bronx, foreign tours to Chile and Japan, and a residency of the company's multi-disciplinary dance theater work "HereAfter" in Lewiston/Auburn, Maine. In addition to dance and text created with community participants, the latter work includes video vignettes shot on locations throughout the community.
