Meg Stuart & Doug Weiss

For Meg Stuart, the body is a memory palace. Known for her punk spirit and raw physicality, Stuart explores bodily consciousness through collective improvisation. In All the Way Around, the Berlin-based dance star is joined by avant-jazz bassist Doug Weiss and pianist Mariana Carvalho. Together, they create a shifting landscape of shared somatic knowledge. With limited seating, this performance offers audiences an intimate window into the emergence of a new body of memories. 

Content Warnings/Age Recommendations

This performance is recommended for ages 10 and older.

Themes

This show is considered, by today’s standards, a minimal performance. Despite all the technology and wide range of instruments and tools available today, they choose to feature one dancer and one upright bass player, along with a pianist. What might this choice indicate about their goals and priorities as artists? What are other examples of doing a lot with comparatively little?
