For the Record is an evening of work presented by choreographer, Laurel Snyder exploring the heights, depths and intricacies of human experience.nnAbout the PerformancenTaking its inspiration from the various mating rituals of fish and other underwater creatures, Hooked takes on the primitive notion that humans have their own mating ritual: dating. This flirtatious and light-hearted piece suggests that for humans, it’s ALWAYS mating season. Hooked premiered in October of 2007 at a Tisch School of the Arts student showing. Nearly Ethereal is an exploration in weightlessness, extreme weight and the necessary negotiation between the two. The dancers’ undulation and organic quality creates an other-worldly atmosphere; dark, eerie and strangely hopeful. Nearly Ethereal premiered as a part of Mulberry Street Theater’s Newsteps Series in the Fall of 2007. Laurel Snyder will also be presenting the premiere of a new solo entitled Impediment in which she embodies the confusion, frustration and self-loathing that comes with the struggle to remember or to simply speak. For the Record: will also include a structured improvisational performance enhanced by similarly improvised live music.nnAbout the ArtistnLaurel Snyder is a second year BFA candidate in the dance program at the Tisch School of the Arts.
