From Sept. 15 through 17, 2022, Roy and Edna Disney CalArts Theater (REDCAT), CalArts’ center for contemporary arts in downtown Los Angeles, proudly presents Thank You For Coming: Space, the most recent dance work from choreographer Faye Driscoll.

Rescheduled from REDCAT’s Winter/Spring 2022 season, the work is a shared rite of passage—a conjuring of the transformative powers of presence and absence. It unfolds within an intimate installation—wired for sound and upheld by pulleys, ropes, and the weight of others—where Driscoll appears alone with the audience. Through an alchemy of body, object, voice, and live sound, she builds a moving requiem for the human body, creating a world that is, like ourselves, alive and forever changeable.

 

Driscoll is a Doris Duke Award-winning performance maker who has been hailed as a “startlingly original talent” by The New York Times and “a postmillennial postmodern wild woman” by The Village Voice.
