30something

This performance combines the narrative of a high school dance with the meta-narrative of four dancers that have worked together for years trying to grasp where their careers will take them past their 30’s.

The text for the piece is composed from hours of recorded conversations Gabel Eiben had with friends and colleagues. It covers everything from performers' nightmares about ill-fitting costumes to climate change as a super-object. The actors use an in-ear performance approach to the text with contemporary dance to make a humorous and engaging melodrama.
