When not dancing with Molissa Fenley or teaching yoga, Cassie Mey choreographs outdoor site-specific works in unusual places. Last year she performed “What We Can See from Here” (with Jesse-Phillips Fein) as part of the Greening the Ridge event at the 69th St. Veteran’s Memorial Pier in Bay Ridge and “Susurrus” as part of FLOAT (with Danny Johnston and Terry Hempfling) at Socrates Sculpture Park, incorporating the landscape into the set, using trees and picnic tables as well as bringing kiddie pools. This weekend she and her group, Square One (Mey, Phillips-Fein, and Johnston), will be staging the world premiere of “I actually love this,” what they are calling “a rooftop dance about texture, decay, birds, soft spots, listening, falling, and getting dirty,” also featuring Hempfling, Xavier Cha, Heather Hammond, and EmmaGrace Skove-Epes. It’s always fascinating to see what Mey and Square One are up to, so this should be another very different, entertaining event.
