At Fall for Dance the NY Dance Company performed a unique contemporary dance that, though some found it befuddling, left the idea that it must mean more. The piece was a long and seemingly drawn out performance filled with a cranking and repetitive beat. The performers utilized choreography that seemed almost unplanned, sloppy and repetitive filled with unfinished leaps and clumsy basic moves. The performers were not at all in sync and their only interaction was their random crashing into each other or the mimicking of the same moves but never truly interacting. All of this combined into a chaotic blob of emotionless dancers dancers that moved across the stage.

The yellowish lighting and shadows alongside their yellow, tan and dull silver costumes added a dull and mundane tone to the chaos.

Overall the performance seemed confusing and mundane, but I believe that was the point. Maybe the choreographer wanted to depict that life is filled with mundane actions exemplified in the dull movement and color/ music.

Additionally, I feel he revealed that even though we all do these same mundane things,  seen in their similar movements,  we don’t acknowledge each other, seen in the bumping into each other without acknowledgement. ) Lastly, the longevity of the piece may reflect the longevity of life. So, though the piece was a little odd it held an interesting underlying meaning.
