Zoology-New Dance from Chafin Seymour

It is a rare moment, but if you move quickly you can see Chafin's latest work on-line. http://vimeo.com/34799821


Zoology is the product of a yearlong immersion and collaboration between the cast and choreographer. Inspired by the music of Animal Collective, the piece is meant to reflect the perspective of a generation of young people with an overwhelmingly positive outlook in an otherwise challenging world. Zoology takes a look at us, not necessarily as animals, but recognizing that our social developments and societal habits are not all that different.

An excerpt will be performed at the Kid's Cafe Festival in Brooklyn on March 3, 2012
