    Enter a genre-bending exploration of dance, video installation and film and experience the full intensity of how remembered moments live within us. In a large cube wrapped in semi-transparent screens, two people (Canuso and Dito Van Reigersberg) dance fragments of their lives. Captured by video, the two reappear on the screens in large black-and-white films. At turns hypnotic, visceral, and intimate, TAKES creates multiple layers of visual movement between live performers and their projected selves. By day, visit the TAKES performance space and follow instructions spoken through an iPod to perform your own show within the cube. This performance includes nudity. The creation and development of TAKES is made possible in part by a grant from The Pew Center for Arts and Heritage through Dance Advance, by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency, a residency at The Maggie Allessee National Center for Choreography (MANCC), The Swarthmore Project (Theater), Amherst College, and with support from the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival as part of the Live Arts Brewery Fellowship Program.
