Rambler, Worlds Worlds A Part by choreographer Kathy Westwater extends her 20+ year exploration of pain and the body, including the pain of others. Here Westwater invites the dance artists in the work to explore their personal experiences of pain and trauma. While contemplating if it is possible to fully communicate the experience of one’s own pain—and its opposite, bliss—or to fully know another’s, the cast of dancers responds to and celebrates the profound music of post-minimalist composer Julius Eastman.
