Fans of architecture and dance take note: The Guggenheim will play home to a site-specific dance installation in early September that audience members will view from the museum’s iconic spiral ramp. Falls the Shadow was conceived by American Ballet Theatre principal dancer Daniil Simkin and was choreographed by Alejandro Cerrudo for the Guggenheim’s Works & Process art series.
On Monday, September 4 and Tuesday, September 5, Works & Process, the performing arts series at the Guggenheim, will present Simkin’s approach to the museum with “Daniil Simkin: Falls the Shadow,” a site-specific performance in Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic rotunda. The audience will watch from the ramps as Simkin and ABT soloist Cassandra Trenary, along with Hubbard Street dancer Ana Lopez and dancer Brett Conway, perform on the rotunda floor. Their movement will generate video imagery that streams over and around them. “The rotunda becomes almost like a player itself,” says Simkin. “It becomes a living, breathing environment—an integral part of the dance piece.”
