FROM MGM
THIS DANCE IS CALLED GREE. IT IS FROM BEDSTUY.

A qual­ity knock-off you’ve never seen the orig­i­nal of, THIS DANCE IS
CALLED GREE. IT IS FROM BEDSTUY. is the new dance piece of rene­gade
tour­ing project, Mod­ern Garage Move­ment, aka MGM.
Started in San Fran­cisco, based in Brook­lyn, MGM is dancers Feli­cia Bal­los, Biba Bell & JM Leary.
Inspired by hard­core tour­ing rock bands, JM con­cep­tu­al­ized MGM into a five week US tour­ing project sum­mer 2006, danc­ing in garages, back­yards, pack­ing sheds, wine ware­houses, gal­leries and com­mu­nity cen­ters.
The per­for­mance of GREE is an assign­ment to cul­ti­vate urban flow­ers in secret gar­dens by graft­ing the sounds of Ste­vie Won­der to Pash(ly), cos­tumes of Neil Green­berg to soc­cer out­fits and the dances of Yous­souf Koum­bassa to Sarah Michel­son.
The show opens with a dimly lit seat­ing area entirely cov­ered by foliage, which is then removed by the dancers as the audi­ence mem­bers arrive and are inte­grated into the thicket. GREE dusts off dance pieces, sets and audi­ences, invis­i­bly arous­ing all grow­ing, mov­ing things.
