Novel Formats #2: The Set Up

The Set Up is the second movement of Rachel Bernsen’s loose performance suite, Novel Formats. Each movement invites a different group of artists to experiment with a fluid vision of performance, utilizing their range of expertise and individuality in the service of enacting her improvisational and choreographic structures. Novel Formats #2: The Set Up uses the dynamic of three as its defining structure to explore synthesis, harmony, and discord within the construct of an interdisciplinary performing ensemble.
