This Space Occupied
1998 – DC 4th International Improvisation Plus+ Festival taking place in an evening-length performance in the Corcoran Gallery of Art, downtown Washington, DC.
Dancers and musicians, improvising artists from DC, NYC, Germany, England, South Africa, and France, occupy the entire Corcoran Gallery of Art building for the opening event of the DC 4th International Improvisation Festival. Curated by Maida Withers, choreographer, and Jim Levy, jazz musician, this site performance is in the tradition of last year’s wildly successful Seeing Jazz Move at the Smithsonian. The performance is produced by Maida Withers Dance Construction Company and presented by the Corcoran in association with The George Washington University, Department of Theatre and Dance and Department of Music, the Goethe-Institut, and the Embassy of France.
