The Chocolate Factory Theater Presents:

Aynsley Vandenbroucke - 35 1/2

May 15-18, 2013 at 8pm

In 35 ½, three performers grapple with opposites, which aren’t really opposites. They play with dancing + thinking, writing + reading, analyzing + immersing, performing + being. They are organized by structure, uncreativity, pleasure, modesty, excess, and focus. Life enters in.

Created by Aynsley Vandenbroucke in close collaboration with the performers. Performed by Lauren Grace Bakst, Vicky Shick, and Rebecca Warner. Music by Bobby Previte. Lighting by Nelson R. Downend, Jr. Costumes by Jenny Lai.

Called “gifted” by The New Yorker and “an elegant, sensitive thinker” by The New York Times, Aynsley Vandenbroucke is a choreographer, movement analyst, curator and teacher. Her work has been performed throughout NYC (at Danspace Project, CPR-Center for Performance Research, Baryshnikov Arts Center, Dance New Amsterdam, among others) as well as in San Francisco and Brazil. She co-founded Mount Tremper Arts in the Catskills and currently teaches at Princeton University where she was also a member of the inaugural CIRC (choreographers in residence and conversation) program. Aynsley has grown increasingly obsessed with the relationship between writing, reading, and dance-making. Her most recent piece, Untitled, featured live-typed words and ideas “dancing” across a screen. Untitled now exists in many forms, including one made-for-the-internet PowerPoint version as well as upcoming versions for a poetry conference and the Denver based Counterpath Press. Her writing has appeared in The Brooklyn Rail, The Performance Club, BOMBlog, Movement Research Performance Journal and on her own website.

Aynsley Vandenbroucke is the co-founder and co-curator at Mount Tremper Arts.
