Dance at the Modern: Gazes

Gazes is a new work by choreographer Alexandra Light, created in collaboration with Texas Ballet Theater as part of the ongoing Dance at the Modern series. This performance is free and open to the public.

Inspired by the special exhibition Jenny Saville: The Anatomy of Painting, Gazes asks how bodies are looked at, represented, and transformed across art history. Set to music by LEYA (Marilu Donovan, harp, and Adam Markiewicz, violin/voice), the piece blends classical ballet and contemporary movement to create a conversation between painting, architecture, and performance. The choreography highlights both the intimacy of individual gestures and the collective force of the ensemble, considering how the act of looking shapes our experience of one another. Performed by dancers Jackson Bayhi, Alexandria Diemoz, Jonathan Robbins, Zoe Schulte, and Hannah Wood.
