Eleven Missing Days: Meg Wolfe Explores the Dark Side

Choreographer pays homage to film noir

By Ann Haskins

Published on July 10, 2008

Inspired by the film noir sensibility of The Lost Weekend, choreographer Meg Wolfe explores themes of disappearance, loss, love and death. She even promises a femme fatale, almost a requirement of this dark movie métier. The founder and main curator of Anatomy Riot, a long-running dance showcase, Wolfe can't resist injecting a changing cast of friends and their dances to augment each program. This weekend Wolfe is joined by casebolt & smith, performing In Other Words — a dancework confined to a 2-by-4-foot table — and Sam Kim, in a solo titled AVATAR. To see video clips of Wolfe on Dance Channel TV, go to www.laweekly.com/stage and click on the dance pick. Unknown Theater, 1110 N. Seward St., L.A., www.unknowntheater.com. Thurs.-Sat., 8 p.m., Sun., 6 p.m. thru July 13. $18 online, $24 at door. (323) 466-7781.
