Beth Corning, Artistic Director, choreographer, and performer for Corningworks, presents the latest installment of her Glue Factory Projects, Foolish Assumptions. Beth sat down with Anna Singer to speak about the production.
The Glue Factory Projects are original productions created by Beth that feature dancers over 40 years old. Foolish Assumptions examines the “foolish assumptions” we as people make about each other. Beth stars in the performance alongside Evan Fisk, with an extremely sparse stage (just two dancers and two chairs). Beth tells Anna that the story of the performance is entirely up to the audience–what we assume about the plot and characters will be drawn from our own biases. The dance will be accompanied by a wide variety of music, from Beethoven to contemporary pieces.
Foolish Assumptions will open on the weekend of May 14th at Point Park University’s George Rowland White Theatre and runs through the following weekend, May 20th-23rd. Performance details and tickets are available on the Corningworks website.
