“Presented in association with Show Box L.A. Choreographed by pioneering and multi-award-winning choreographer Steve Paxton, and performed by exquisite Slovenian dancer Jurij Konjar, Bound is re-staged and re-imagined by Paxton, who first premiered it in 1982. A stellar example of his 40 years of research into the fiction of cultured dance and the ‘truth’ of improvisation, Paxton has created a performance composed of isolated vignettes, combined with eclectic music and images that are not immediately logical. But like numbers in a column that begin to add up to something larger as they accumulate, these seemingly unchoreographed dance “remarks” soon resonate poetic thoughts. Paxton describes it as “like a chance meeting with a slightly drunken man in a quiet bar where a conversation begins and gradually a disjointed story emerges, of a life lived, one moment after another, but now remembered as fragments of a journey.””
