Alive from Off Center

Season 2 Episode 3: Fire, Light, Sticks, Rotary Action

Hosted by Susan Stamberg, this program features three pieces by movement artist Michael Moschen and a dance performance by Bill T. Jones and Arnie Zane. Moschen performs "Fire" with a pair of burning torches that he moves quickly in circular formations, creating ghostly images of light; in "Light," he holds a crystal ball but never completely encloses it in his hands, which makes it seem to float as he moves around the space with it; and in "Sticks," another highly kinetic piece, Moschen transforms metal poles into moving geometric forms. The dance team of Bill T. Jones and Arnie Zane perform "Rotary Action," an athletic piece about their own creative relationship.
