Conversation: Deville Cohen, Shamel Pitts, and Ali Rosa-Salas

November 7, 2018
Gibney: Agnes Varis Performing Arts Center
New York, NY
Talk

Artist Deville Cohen and choreographer Shamel Pitts discussed interdisciplinary practices in dance and the visual arts. Their conversation provided behind the scenes insight into their work, Menagerie, on view at the Gibney. Menagerie explores the quixotic individuality of six dancers in the Gibney Dance Company. Taking cues from Tennessee Williams’s play The Glass Menagerie, Cohen and Pitts exaggerate the performers’ differences through movements that amplify their sense of self. Moderated by Ali Rosa-Salas, director of programing at Abrons Arts Center.
