082508 MoveOpolis!: Hostile Takeover

As a part Sitelines 2008, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s annual site-specific dance performance series, Richard Move and MoveOpolis! present Hostile Takeover — six elaborate live performance installations that occur at different downtown locations.

A glamorous collision of sexual desire and violence, masculinity and femininity and real and imagined worlds, Hostile Takeover places feminine beauty upon a pedestal (literally) in the midst of the male-dominated world of high finance, with stunningly costumed, Butoh-inspired female dancers. Costumes are made by Teatro del Odio and Gia Grosso, music is by DJ Savage.

A final performance event, Dances at a Gathering, featuring the entire MoveOpolis! cast and a video installation by Forward Motion Theater, will be presented on August 25 and is hosted by the Seaport Marketplace.
