FROM MGM
THIS DANCE IS CALLED GREE. IT IS FROM BEDSTUY.
kaleidoscopic blinks presented in portable proscenium

A quality knock-off you've never seen the original of, THIS DANCE IS
CALLED GREE. IT IS FROM BEDSTUY. is the new dance piece of renegade
touring project, Modern Garage Movement, aka MGM.
Started in San Francisco, based in Brooklyn, MGM is dancers Felicia Ballos, Biba Bell & JM Leary.
Inspired by hardcore touring rock bands, JM conceptualized MGM into a five week US touring project summer 2006, dancing in garages, backyards, packing sheds, wine warehouses, galleries and community centers.
The performance of GREE is an assignment to cultivate urban flowers in secret gardens by grafting the sounds of Stevie Wonder to Pash(ly), costumes of Neil Greenberg to soccer outfits and the dances of Youssouf Koumbassa to Sarah Michelson.
The show opens with a dimly lit seating area entirely covered by foliage, which is then removed by the dancers as the audience members arrive and are integrated into the thicket. GREE dusts off dance pieces, sets and audiences, invisibly arousing all growing, moving things.
