Whoever said that dance has nothing to do with language? We beg to differ! The unconventional dance performance “How to Do Things with Words” is a captivating pas de deux between language and movement, between bodies and graphic text. How does one dance with text? What new meanings arise when dancers manipulate objects printed with words and phrases? The results range from the simple to the sublime. Printed signs may be flat, but they add surprising depth to a dance performance. The choreography is rich in fancy footwork, pulsing rhythms, delicious absurdity and playful word games.
