Theater in the Head (2009 - 2010)
" 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.



"I have never felt so close to someone else's art."
--Blanche Boyd, Novelist






"Theater in the Head" was created in part during an Emerging Choreographer Residency at the 2009 Bates Dance Festival. In 2010-2011 the work will continue to be developed during a year-long creative residency at the Vermont Performance Lab (VPL/Sara Coffey). VPL is also a co-commissioner of the work and will present a preview of Theater in the Head June 2-4, 2011. For more information about this project or the VPL performance please contact us by email at info@adelemyersanddancers.com or visit vermontperformancelab.com.
