MEETING ROOM (ENTER by way of 55 Washington Square South)

Failure

by Laura Peterson Choreography

Performed by Laura Peterson, Jo-anne Lee, Darrin Wright, and Jennifer Sydor
Production Design: Laura Peterson
Technical Director: Jon Pope

What is failure, and how do we deal with it – as individuals, and as communities? In FAILURE, Laura Peterson uses choreographic language and sculptural design to probe the national consciousness in the aftermath of 2016 Presidential election. She zeroes in on the overwhelming pressure to compete, which is at the heart of the American way of life. Is a small defeat less devastating than a colossal mistake? What is the real outcome of the “winner takes all?”
