contemporary dance.
The MetaMarthasis
Tickets: Adults: $25 | 17 and under: 1/2 price
Location: Stonington Opera House
A celebratory contemporary dance event that is part modernist archive, part pop-culture pageantry, part drag extravaganza and all completely fabulous. Jesse Factor’s The MetaMarthasis is a studied synthesis of the “High Priestess of Modern Dance” Martha Graham and the “Queen of Pop” Madonna.
This event will feature excerpts from Factor’s evening-length dance work The Marthaodyssey along with some new surprises.
Jesse Factor’s innovative work is frequently presented at dance and nightlife venues including New York Live Arts, Boston Contemporary Dance Festival, OUTsider Festival, RADfest, Fresh Fruit Festival, and House of Yes. Trained at the Martha Graham School, he performed with Graham II and the Martha Graham Dance Company. Jesse holds a BFA from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and MFA from the University of Iowa.
