The Liz Gerring Dance Company performs Lichtung/Clearing, an evening-length dance set within a layered visual and sound environment in which the artists explore the relationship among movement image, sound image, and projected image. Conceived and choreographed by Liz Gerring, Lichtung/Clearing includes a multichannel electronic score and multichannel video projections by longtime collaborators Michael J. Schumacher and Ursula Scherrer.

"You watch Lichtung/Clearing much as you do Cunningham's RainForest (1968): a drama where the feral, the primitive and the civilized all interconnect. Steps keep dissolving into through-the-body gestures, and every part of the physique is given a fresh inflection. There are other choreographers from whom Ms. Gerring has learned, notably Trisha Brown (those peripheries!). But Ms. Gerring seems unencumbered by any such debts. Her immediacy is her own; Lichtung/Clearing, which I recall as both psychodrama and zoological reportage, is a major achievement."
