“Fiercely pure….Armitage follows a path cleared by George Balanchine…she presents the performers as molten steel cooling into stunning shapes, yet also reminds us that they are not clones of a technique but individuals, with minds, moods, and imperfections of their own”

Armitage Gone! Dance – New Production

Aug. 8, 2008 Lincoln Center Out of Door Festival, New York City

Summer of Love

Choreography   Karole Armitage

Music  Burkina Electric

Costumes   Peter Speliopoulos

Armitage Gone! Dance, Lukas Ligeti and Burkina Electric join together for a Dionysian celebration in Summer of Love. Armitage’s mix of off-kilter ballet, club dance, and erotica ripple out in waves of fracturing crystalline motion. The music by Burkina Electric combines the burkinabé music of Burkina Faso and Western club electronica. Costumes by Peter Speliopoulos take inspiration from the documentary photography of sixties youth culture byMalick Sidibé in Mali and the hippie movement in the west.
