Ulysses Dove’s Episodes is a starkly passionate interpretation of the power struggles involved in human relationships.  Set to a sparse, percussive score by Robert Ruggieri with the choreography contained along two diagonally-lit paths, private battles between the sexes play out for all to see onstage.  Moments of tension, explosive confrontation, and unresolved longing are drawn out as duos partner with complete abandon.

Following the Company premiere of Episodes in 1989, The New York Times wrote, “the work is a visceral turn-on, testimony to Mr. Dove’s incontrovertible gift for exciting the senses, for exploiting a physical and kinetic impact to its utmost.”

Support for this production was provided, in part, by AT&T.

The original production of this work was made possible, in part, with public funds from the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency, and by a generous grant from The Harkness Foundation for Dance.
