The A.O. Movement Collective will present its debut NYC Season with the evening-length world premiere of 90 ways to Wake from drowning at Joyce SoHo on July 30-31 at 8pm.  A forcefully imaginative journey, this piece signifies choreographer Sarah A.O. Rosner’s arrival to the downtown dance scene as one of the community’s important emerging artists.

Utilizing a twisting narrative, Wake bends epic storytelling into an immediate visceral experience set amidst a visual wonderland of car crashes and heavy slow dances.  Mixing contact partnering, modern releasing, and detailed gestures with a choreographic approach reminiscent of the lush explosions of action-movies, the piece is a love letter penned in the aesthetics of mess.  As She struggles with Him, navigating devolving memories and shifting realities, we explore how effort transcends, time bends, and weight remembers.

Tickets can be purchased by calling Joyce Charge at 212-242-0800 or at www.joyce.org and are $15 general admission with $12 for students/seniors and with a DanceNYC’s DancePass.
