Ellen Sinopoli Dance Company (ESDC) has been invited to create site specific performances in the gallery that will interact with and are inspired by An Armory Show, an installation by artists Michael Oatman and Ken Ragsdale at Opalka Gallery of The Sage Colleges in Albany. The performances by ESDC will consist of two new dances created by Artistic Director Ellen Sinopoli and her dancers. Music for these dances is by composers Joan Tower and Todd Bartel. Three ESDC dancers have already participated in the installation through Oatman’s video remake of Marcel Duchamp’s 1912 painting “Nude Descending a Staircase”.
