This past summer, the New York-based Morphoses company presented the world premiere of the multimedia WITHIN (Labyrinth Within) at the Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival. The hour-long piece, by Swedish dancer and choreographer Pontus Lidberg, Morphoses’ current resident artistic director, examines reality and perception by combining live and projected movement. The work features Jens Weber, Gabrielle Lamb, Laura Mead, New York City Ballet’s Adrian Danchig-Waring, and American Ballet Theatre’s Isabella Boylston onstage, joined onscreen by Wendy Whelan, Giovanni Bucchieri, and Lidberg, with a score by David Lang. The November 8 performance will be preceded by a discussion led by Susan Thomasson and followed by a Dance Chat with members of the Morphoses company.
