The New Movement Project, in conjunction with the School of Communication’s Dance Program, will host a weeklong residency with the New York-based dance company David Parker and The Bang Group, including a company Studio Showing of their most recent world premiere and a Residency Showcase featuring Northwestern dance students. The Residency Showcase will feature a premiere work choreographed by David Parker and performed by NU Students.

Parker founded The Bang Group in 1995 as a choreographic laboratory in rhythm, rigor and humor. Pressing through boundaries which once separated high and low art, comedy and tragedy, and vaudeville and concert dance, The Bang Group has developed a solid reputation in both Europe and North America for its uncompromising wit, innovative movement and ribald approach to gender and sexuality. 

The Sunday Residency Showcase is free and open to the public.
