Adele Myers and Dancers: Repertory


	Photo of Diana Deaver by Jeff Woodward		Theater in the Head (2010 - 2011) "Theater in the Head" is a quest for intimacy between performers and their audience. It offers spectacle then reveals its mechanics by stripping them away. Developed with composer, Josh Quillen of So Percussion, the forty-minute sextet is divided into two acts incorporating Myers' robust athleticism fused with theatricality and humor.
