PREMIERE

EXIT was supported by The Greenwall Foundation, The O'Donnell-Green Music & Dance Foundation, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, New York State Council on the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Arts. Funds for the composers' commission were provided by the American Music Center Live Music for Dance Program. EXIT was also supported in part by DANCEworks, a partnership between Summerdance Santa Barbara and the Lobero Theatre, the Green Box Arts Festival in Green Mountain Falls, CO and Steven Hatfield & Patrick Riordan.

Veering from tenderness to contempt, each duet is so specific that you lean in to catch the details and forget the club trappings.
