Summary
  • Inside/out is a series of programs in which artists perform and discuss their choreography with audiences in an informal setting, usually outdoors. In this program, Liz Lerman is accompanied by members of her Washington, D.C.-based company and by older adults from a senior center in Lee, Mass. At the beginning of the program, the dancers introduce themselves and perform a series of warm-ups and an improvised dance. Lerman discusses her use of words in choreography, and performs an excerpt from her solo Journey. The members of her company present excerpts from the work in progress Atomic priests, while Lerman discusses the work's origins and development. At the end of the program, excerpts from Still crossing are performed by Lerman's company and seniors from Lee.
  • In a filming made outdoors for a grant proposal, Liz Lerman discusses the work in progress Atomic priests, and excerpts of the work are performed by Lerman, Don Zuckerman, Beth Davis and Jeff Bliss. A brief segment at the end of the tape records Lerman discussing Atomic priests with audience members after an Inside/out program.
