  • 'Douglas Dunn & Dancers Present 'Aidos' at BAM

    Douglas Dunn & Dancers will present the world premiere of "Aidos" at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in February. "Aidos" is a new work by Douglas Dunn and is characterized as a highly stylized and elegant piece. Douglas Dunn & Dances describe the performance as a piece that allows Aidos, the Greek goddess of shame, to appear as a split personality danced by two 6-foot-tall women: Jin Ju Song-Begin and Jessica Martineau. Their ongoing duel, juxtaposed against six more affiliated dancers, is the focal point of the general suggestion of dance display as inherently embarrassing. The beauty of the Bach Suites played live by Ha-Yang Kim and the sleek black and gold costumes by Andrew Jordan keep the mordant theme from shredding the luxuriant texture of the hour-long dance. Dunn has been dancing and choreographing for 43 years and formed Douglas Dunn & Dancers in 1976. He stands out because of his collaborations with poets, painters, sculptors, musicians, composers and playwrights to help offer the audience a multifaceted theater experience. He has set pieces for the Paris Opera Ballet and composed numerous outdoor and site-specific events. For his work, he has won many awards, including a Guggenheim, a Bessie and Chevalier in the Ordres des Arts et des Lettres.
