Choreographer Beth Gill in Conversation with Philip Bither | Nail Biter Performance

Choreographer Beth Gill speaks with Walker's Performing Arts curator, Philip Bither on the process, practice and the ideas around her latest performance, Nail Biter.
Explore ritual and dance through science fiction and ancient myth in acclaimed choreographer Beth Gill’s darkly beautiful new work. Emerging as representations of our collective unconscious, five dancers-including Gill herself-transform a contemporary dance performance into an enigmatic and vital space of connection and loss with a sense of magic and awe. Nail Biter embodies her signature choreographic craft, creating what Dance Magazine calls a “sense of control that doesn’t stifle but rather beckons our curiosity.”
“Everything seems absolutely deliberate but also mysterious [ . . . ] a vivid dream, unexplained but not at all random.”-New York Times (Critic’s Pick)
