Thinking of winter, snowy shorelines, love, distance, and longing, a new work by Heather Christian debuts in New York (Jan. 18 – Feb. 02, 2008). Not necessarily the remote arctic, but full of delicate self-expression and quietly reflective songwriting, “North” brings together music, dance, video, snowy costumes, and a crystalline outdoor living room to explore an inner artistic landscape. Recent reviews describe the work as “breathtaking,” “impassioned,” and “unexpectedly moving.” More about the show can be found from the La MaMa E.T.C. theater listing, a YouTube preview of “North,” the artist’s website and on-line music listing.
