Last December at the University Settlement and again in January at Dance Theater Workshop as part of the APAP conference, choreographer Faye Driscoll offered a sneak peek at her upcoming production, There is so much mad in me, featuring an exhilarating scene of beautiful chaos. The show makes its full-length debut at Dance Theater Workshop this week, running March 31 through April 3. Performed by Lindsay Clark, Lily Gold, Michael Helland, Tony Orrico, Jennie Mary, Tai Liu, Jacob Slominski, Adaku Utah, Jesse Zaritt, and Nikki Zialcita, There is so much mad in me examines the overstimulation prevalent in today’s society as people battle emotional extremes just to keep going.

Driscoll, who was included in the New Museum’s “Younger Than Jesus” exhibit highlighting the work of emerging artists under the age of thirty-three (her video from the show, “Loneliness,” can be seen above), incorporates a lot of dialogue into her pieces, not afraid to challenge conventions and rile up the audience. She has described her choreography as being “rebellious” and “dangerous,” and advance looks at There is so much mad in me hint that her latest should be no different. Opening night, March 31, will be preceded by a Coffee and Conversation with Driscoll, while the April 2 show will be followed by a discussion between Driscoll and Interdependence Project founder Ethan Nichtern, moderated by dance writer Deborah Jowitt.
