I was first exposed to Glen Rumsey (or his work, at least) in 2005. His first evening-length work, ignored in my heaven, commissioned by and performed at Location One Gallery in Soho, was an amazing surprise, not only to me, but to reviewers throughout the city. Based on passages from Glen’s dream journals, the work was an alluring, pictorial journey, told through stylized and vernacular movement, costumes made out of bubble wrap and back backs, where a host of ambiguously drawn characters came in and out of sequence. It was highly theatrical, but also solid as a dance piece. Ok, I wanted to hump it.
So I’ll definitely be heading down to Danspace this week to check out his new piece, little virtue, which promises to explore gender confusion and soul-searching through the body’s relationship with the world. Should go well with this amazing queer article in The Voice.
