DANCE

DiverseWorks ArtSpace presents Ayman Harper with Matmos: (theLID, January 13-14, 2012 at 7:30pm.

Part-time Houston-based choreographer and former Forsythe Company member Ayman Harper comes to DiverseWorks with the U.S. premiere of (theLID, a conceptualized dance event. Collaborating with renowned sound artists Matmos and dancer Jermaine Spivey (with Kidd Pivot Frankfurt RM), (theLID is a musical composition unfolding in the form of dance.

Combining Matmos’ ability to create whimsical and peculiar electronic sound assemblages from everyday objects with Harper’s ability to create lyrical and idiosyncratic movement, (theLID is a hybrid performance event in which movement and sound composition are mutually inspired.

(theLID is a production of Ayman Harper in coproduction with The Forsythe Company and Künstlerhaus Mousonturm supported by Hebbel am Ufer and DiverseWorks ArtSpace, the Artist in Residence program of Tanzlabor_21/ A Tanzplan Deutschland Project, National Performance Network with funding provided by the German Federal Cultural Foundation, and National Performance Network (U.S.)
