On May 14, Daniella Hoff and David Appel will present new works as part of the Take Root series at Green Space in Long Island City, both examining the interaction of human relationships. Hoff’s Angst (which has also had the working title Shadowlands) delves into the nature of fear, inspired by her visit to the Jüdisches Museum Berlin and its Holocaust Tower. The piece will be performed by Tomomi Imai, Lize-Lotte Pitlo, Sarah Pope, and Hoff, with music by Brooklyn-based electroacoustic duo Live Footage (Mike Thies and Topu Lyo). Appel, who most recently participated in Dance Conversations 2011 at the Flea, will be premiering relativity, she said (this is how), his first extended small group work in more than twenty years, a series of short dances with improvisation featuring Appel with Ava Heller, Jenni Hong, Elise Knudson, and Suzanne Thomas. (The monthly Take Root series continues on June 11 with Esther m Palmer & aemp:dance and amiti perry+company.)
