7MPR Dance Theater
7 Midnights Physical Research (7MPR) is dedicated to the exploration of 7 social issues: Class, Education, Ability, Sexuality, Race, Age, Gender.
Seven performances will take place throughout the year, and each performance will cover social issues through dance.
Each choreographer’s work will express one or more themes of the seven social issues aligning with their thinking of dance and society.
The 7 topics of social issues are going to be depicted by the dance movements through our “Themed Dance Theater” program.
7MPR’s topics are inspired by the 7 deadly sins and are aimed at investigating the dark side of humans and how they are shaped by our society.
7MPR hopes to bring out 7 midnight performances every year. Each midnight performance will present 8-10 (experimental) dance pieces created by different choreographers, addressing one or more social issues in our society. In this way, we hope we can participate in the broader discussion of the relationship between dance and society.
Watch their next performance in: LOTIC TIME, August 5, 2023 from 2 – 7pm, at Socrates Sculpture Park, NYC
Join us for Lotic Time, a culminating event showcasing collaborative performances by the Jazz Foundation of America and Valerie Green/Dance Entropy. Set against the backdrop of Mary Mattingly’s living sculptural installation, this unique experience combines the power of sound and movement to explore the intricate rhythms of nature and the ever-changing scales of time as witnessed through our nearby waterways.
