Andrea Miller’s Blush expands the sudden moment of blushing into a sixty-minute flood. Dense with emotional rawness and physical exertion, this intimate work chases one of the most elusive human expressions – the blush – through the stress and raptures as it melts to the edges of the skin. Set in a boxing ring-like arena, Blush unravels to the music of Mannyfingers, Andrej Przybytkowski, Chopin, Kap Bambino, Arvo Part and Wolf Parade. Since its 2009 premiere, Blush has toured nationally and internationally to the highest critical acclaim, and received the 2011 National Dance Project Touring Award. This May, Blush returns to New York City for the first time since its world premiere.

November 29, 2013 WONDERLAND
Festspiele Ludwigshafen Theater im Pfalzbau Ludwigshafen, Germany TicketsWonderland investigates pack mentality as an inherent, potentially dangerous, element of human instinct. Deeply inspired by Chinese-born artist Cai Guo-Qiang’s installation Head On, Wonderland uses imagery from war, sports, and communication to reveal the psychological and physical episodes of a herd acting as a unit through the uncoordinated behavior of self-serving individuals. Although pack mentality is a natural and ongoing strategy in the animal kingdom, among humans it can indicate a vicious, desensitized brutality and disregard for humanity – a concept that is at the core of Wonderland.
