Performance by Spenser Theberge and Jermaine Spivey

Hi friends! Jermaine and I would love to invite you to our new work, RATHER THIS, THEN at DISJECTA on September 30th. The event will start at 7:00pm with a cocktail hour, and continue with a performance from Jermaine and I, a new creation based on our on-going series on identity and perception. We hope you'll stay after for music and fun! Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at the door. Please tell a friend, bring anyone you like, we'll be so happy to see friends and new faces! Here's a little blurb about our work: Through their creations, Jermaine Spivey and Spenser Theberge explore multidisciplinary performances that challenge the traditional role of performer and audience, reimagining how performances are viewed and how the exchange of information between performer and audience occurs. Partners on and off-stage, Spivey and Theberge improvise, calling on their wealth of shared history to anticipate and support each other’s spontaneous decisions— It’s dialogue made physical (and vocal and visual and anything else they may employ!), sometimes in agreement, sometimes in conflict. Their work is highly physical and highly human, calling on body, voice, and visual elements to reveal truths about each other. It’s privacy made public, it’s tenderly voyeuristic, and the result is an opportunity for the audience to see something of their own selves represented in another. xoxo Spenser
