21 Yeses is a dance of light and void, a theatrical form of sensory perception that soothes and mesmerizes as it awakens audiences into a luminous hyperdream. Taking on the tech-aesthetic of a space odyssey, New Dialect plays with hi-grade electricity, the presence of absence, and the geometries of choreography to encounter light as a sentient form of movement and darkness itself as an action, a vast stillness. Combining the practice of contemporary dance with lighting technologies borrowed from the concert industry, choreographer Banning Bouldin (New Dialect) and production designer Michael Brown (Bon Iver) create an experience where motion and light capture and release one another inside the awe of an endless distance. TPAC’s co-presentation of New Dialect’s 21 Yeses is funded in part by a grant from South Arts in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts and Tennessee Arts Commission.
