“Masterly… Uncompromising investigation of choreography as a mirror of human consciousness…” —The New York Times
A New York premiere from Tere O’Connor, Long Run (2017) pushes the emotional content of O’Connor’s movement to new physical extremes, allowing time-based elements like polyrhythms, velocity and duration to become major forces in the work, overtaking the eight performers as they struggle to bring their bodies into a state of calm.

- “For thirty years, Tere O’Connor has made unclassifiable dance works; watching them is like seeing into his dancers’ minds, as their thoughts and sensations speed by, pile up, and coincide with others’ thoughts and sensations.” Andrew Boynton, The New Yorker.
- Long Run foregrounds endurance and exertion in a perfect complement to Boris Charmatz’s work — see both productions and get a glimpse of the new dance landscape, as both choreographers push its limits.
