This is the reactability of the appetizer

“Beth [Twigs] opened the show with This is the Reactibility of the Appetizer, a new work informed by her experience as a mother of two young boys and her navigation of support and expectation. Dancers Corbin Hall, Maeve Haselton, Robert Moore, and Thomas Phelan gave a stark and ferocious performance that abstractly embodied Terwilleger’s vision of individualism, societal expectation, emotion, and personal struggle. They performed simultaneous duets and trios, often with intense vigor and uniqueness; Hall’s robotic, shapey movements appeared both distressed and invigorated, while Haselton’s, spinal articulations took them in and out of the floor. Each of the movers embodied the classical sound score instrument by instrument, body upon body, nearly mimicking orchestral layers. Aesthetically, dancers were unified with identical costumes composed of light pants and a long strip of black tape to cover their chest and nipples in an implied statement on double standards and social archetypes. Terwilleger’s simple costumes, clean lighting, musicality, dark imagery, and articulate performance structure opened the show with a bang.”
