Directed and choreographed by Adele Myers along with: Josh Quillen, composer; Blanche Boyd, writer; and filmmaker, Emmy Pickett; the collective exploration folds dance, film, music and writing into a performance of risk as a personal narrative. Five female performers bring robust athleticism and sometimes execute improbable tasks. Ain Gordon is the dramaturg for the project. “Einstein’s Happiest Thought” will premiere at OnStage at Connecticut College in February 2013 and will be presented at the following venues: ICA (Boston), Williams College, Mass MoCA, The Yard at Martha’s Vineyard, and the New Haven International Festival of Arts and Ideas and Silvermine Arts Center in CT. The project has received research and development support from Summer Stages Dance Festival; Bates Dance Festival; Opera House Arts; and Connecticut College.
