The Waiting Room
We are honored to present Karen Gayle's seminal work. This intense, deeply theatrical piece fuses her sculptural, pedestrian, athletic, and fluid style with the technical abilities and theatricality of General Mischief’s dancers. The work originally debuted in 2008 on Ms. Gayle's own company, xodus dance collective. She has set the piece on General Mischief's ensemble, providing a unique opportunity to experience this remarkable slice-of-life work which holds new resonance in today's world!
