The all-woman, New York City-based Summation Dance, which was founded in 2010 by Sumi Clements and Taryn Vander Hoop after they received their MFAs in dance performance and choreography from NYU, returns to BAM for its fourth season April 2-5, presenting two world premieres at BAM Fisher’s Fishman Space. The company, whose stated mission “is to find the beauty in struggle and the humor in the mundane,” has previously created such dynamic pieces as 2013’s Shift and 2012’s Deep End. At BAM, Summation will debut artistic director Clements’s Updating Route, Please Standby, which explores the unexpected roads life can take, featuring a score by Lorn, and Hunt, which delves into the persecution of witches throughout history, with original music by Kyle Olson. The dancers consist of Clements, Vander Hoop, Angela Curotto, Allie Lochary, Dani McIntosh, Julie McMillan, Devin Oshiro, Meg Weeks, and Megan Wubbenhorst; the costumes are by Brigitte Vosse. VIP tickets ($100) are available for the April 2 performance, which include beer, wine, and dinner on the rooftop; Saturday night’s show is already sold out.
