The Near(ness) is a modern-day incantation that invokes the loneliness and holiness of everyday signifiers. Featuring original vocal music performed live by the dancers, video, abstract movement and dynamic partnering, the ensemble creates a dream-like palette of visual and rhythmic textures.
Conceived by Tatyana Tenenbaum in collaboration Ethan Cowan and Lucinda Segar. Live electronics by Ezra Tenenbaum. Lighting design by David Roy.

It premiered on June 10 & 11, 2010 at St. Mary's Hall in Williamsburg through The Trinity Project. The Near(ness) was sponsored, in part, by the Greater New York Arts Development Fund of the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, administered by the Brooklyn Arts Council; and by a residency through DanceNOW(NYC) | Silo.
