Contemporary Dance Theater Presents:

Jane Comfort & Company: An American Rendition

January 23 - 24, 2009

Jane Comfort & Company create dance theater works that push the intersection of movement and language to a new form of performance. The company is an extraordinary group of dancers, actors and singers who use a wide range of theatrical elements to address contemporary social and cultural issues.

An American Rendition examines the country’s moral and political paralysis in the face of the entertainment-induced coma that keeps Americans glued to the tube.
An American Rendition uses integrated text and movement to depict the story of a US citizen who is kidnapped and tortured in a secret prison while the country distracts itself with TV realty shows. Using the remote control as a theatrical device, the company flips from reality to reality show as they offer up savage parodies of American Idol, Fear Factor, and America's Next Top Model, shows which feature humiliation as titillating entertainment.
