Liz Gerring – Master of Movement

Following American choreographer Liz Gerring in her Manhattan rehearsal studio as she develops the first steps for her new work

The American choreographer Liz Gerring specialises in abstract, intricately crafted modern dance pieces. For the past twenty years, she’s been creating works for her own dance company and her latest piece is the third in a trilogy – following the critically acclaimed Glacier (2013) and Horizon (2015). Tara Gadomski meets Liz at her rehearsal studio in New York as she starts exploring ideas and movements for this new dance show, which has the working title ‘Field’. Due to be premiered in New Jersey in Autumn 2018, we follow Liz as she works with her dancers to get the creative process moving.
