Known for its emotionally authentic and theatrically diverse programming, Janis Brenner & Dancers presents its 2011 New York season led by veteran choreographer/dancer/artistic director Janis Brenner. Following last year's highly acclaimed production of 5 Decades, Brenner returns with 5 Decades II - another unique presentation of five multifarious works from 1929 to present day. In addition to works by Brenner including the world premiere of The Mind-Stuff Variations with music by composer/pianist Jerome Begin, the evening will feature pieces by two of her major influences- Mary Wigman and Murray Louis.
