Oberfelder is currently developing Rube G.—The Consequence of Action”, which will premiere in March for our New York season at Gibney Dance Center. The springboard and inspiration for this piece is a Rube Goldberg Machine. We’ll be looking at all angles of how things work as a connective unit, and how each action connects to the next, thereby connecting all of us. This work is infused with Jody’s research and play from site specific and interactive modalities, and the company looks forward to bringing immersive dance performance to New York audiences.
