"...choreography that doesn't shy from detail, but burrows deeply into spatial and rhythmic concepts"
—Gia Kourlas, The New York Times, 2010
look at them long and long uses a detailed movement vocabulary to explore spatial, rhythmic, and textural counterpoint, themes of perseverance and interruption, and the meaningfulness of dancers sharing space and time to create a richly evocative movement world. The premiere performance featured dancers Laurel Atwell, Jessica Cook, Anneke Hansen, Miranda Jirik, Jeremy Pheiffer, Ariel Pierce, Lynne Schlesinger and Lori Yuill; Composer Nathan Koci created an original woodwind score that acts as another element of the dance by both supporting and acting as a counterpoint to the choreography. The score was performed live by Koci with Josh Phillips and Ken Thompson; Lighting design by Holly Ko.
