CURRENT REPERTORY

Tuesday, 4 a.m. (2006).  Set to Stravinsky’s Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra, this dance illustrates the score’s unique polyrhythms and dissonant harmonies while evoking the dreamscapes of its six bedtime inhabitants.  

Thunderblood (2005).  Munisteri’s most formalist work is a contemporary symphony of vivid color, syncopated rhythms, and morphing angular structures, set to a score by Evren Celimli.  Watch video excerpt.   

Not Human (2005).  This curious foray into Kingdom Animalus is a wry collage where predatory and playful prowling is layered over an eclectic sound score.

Turbine Mines (2004).  Danger, urgency and Vangelis’ foreboding score for the film Blade Runner pervade a rigorously structured yet primal six-dancer counterpoint, eventually yielding to moments of beauty and light.  Watch video excerpt.

Muse of Fire (2002).  An abstraction about inspiration itself,  driving rhythms are danced with full-out abandon.  An aggressive, pristine solo and lyrical crafting round out this dance to Radiohead, Ryiuichi Sakamoto, and the score to the film Run Lola Run.

Smash Through to Sunlight (1999).  Solo dancers travel capriciously through a landscape of sculpted lights, accompanied by an ominous score by Evren Celimli. Watch video excerpt.

Late-Night Sugar Flight (1998).  Munisteri’s “breakout” dance illustrates his early interest in collage, a broad movement pallete, and the poignancy of duet dancing.  Set to music by Cornershop, Donizzetti, and Satie.
