“In performance I love dancing past the sort of exhaustion barriers that I find normally and I enter a place that is above my normal self,” Dan Chenoweth says about Control Dominion, one of two world premieres being presented June 27 and 29 by BodyStories: Teresa Fellion Dance at the Center for Performance Research in Brooklyn. The multimedia piece takes place in a futuristic cyborg society highlighted by robotic, anarchic movement, with electronic music by John Yanelli. The New York City-based company will also be debuting The Mantises Are Flipping (P.S. I’ll Have Whatever They’re Having), in which the dancers and musician-composer Ryan Edwards interact through sound and movement, exploring duality, voyeurism, and rhythmic harmony. The ninety-minute evening, titled “Flipping Dominion: An Evening of Two Contrasting Works,” features Corey Bliss, Li Cata, Julie Goldberg, Sarah Hillmon, Julia Jurgiliewicz, Nicole Kadar, Lindsey Ridgeway, and Chenoweth and will be followed by a reception at Brooklyn Brewery. BodyStories, whose “mission is to examine depths of societies in their darkest and brightest moments and to inspire audiences to physically sense emotional and psychological aspects of the human condition onstage,” will also be giving a free performance on June 28 at 6:00 as part of the Booking Dance Festival Edinburgh preview showcase in Bryant Park, along with Dzul Dance, Synthesis Dance Project, Freespace Dance, Michael Mao Dance, and Rebecca Stenn.
