“An austere testament to the remarkable possibilities of dance.” - The New York Times, on Rammed Earth
“I am interested in how choreography reflects the convolutions of the mind and the way that people attempt to organize their reality as it continuously dissolves around them." - Tere O’Connor
In Wrought Iron Fog, Tere O’Connor adds layers of contingency to his choreographic practice, creating a dance whose structure unfolds in multiple directions to engage in a poetic interface with the complex ideologies of contemporary culture. The work features an original score by James Baker, lighting design by Michael O’Connor, and will be performed by Hilary Clark, Daniel Clifton, Erin Gerken, Heather Olson and Matthew Rogers.
- Wrought Iron Fog is commissioned by Dance Theater Workshop’s Commissioning and Creative Residency Program with support from the Ford Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency, the New York State Council on the Arts, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, and the Jerome Robbins Foundation. Wrought Iron Fog was funded by the New England Foundation for the Arts’ National Dance Project with generous support from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, The Ford Foundation, and the MetLife Community Connections Fund of the MetLife Foundation. Wrought Iron Fog has also been made possible with critical support from The Multi-Arts Production (MAP) Fund, Creative Capital Foundation, The National Endowment for the Arts (a federal agency); the New York State Council on the Arts (a state agency), and a Creative Research Grant from the University of Illinois. Wrought Iron Fog was developed, in part, in residence at The Maggie Allesee National Center for Choreography at Florida State University.
