Diagnosis of a Faun April 9, 2011

WHAT: VSA, the international organization on arts and disability, presents Diagnosis of a Faun. Choreographer Tamar Rogoff drew inspiration for this innovative dance/theater work from Nijinsky's legendary dance, Afternoon of a Faun, and performer Gregg Mozgala's experience with cerebral palsy. Mozgala's magnetic faun moves from a mythical forest to the corridors of a modern hospital, changing the lives of all he meets with compelling movement and sly humor. This VSA commission premiered at La MaMa in New York and was a hit at the 2010 International VSA Festival in Washington, D.C. It returns to the D.C. area for two performances only. Recommended for ages 16+. This engagement is part of Dance is the Answer.
