Sandman Sleeps New York Performances

“Sandman Sleeps” is a dance work currently playing at Berlin, presented as a live event in an intimate club setting. Featured performer Carissa Johnson moves through material that draws on sleep, restlessness, and the blurred edge between waking and dream logic. The piece reads as a study in tempo and attention, using repetition to make small shifts register as narrative. No NYC premiere history is publicly established; for New York audiences, its significance lies in how it brings contemporary dance into nightlife infrastructure rather than a traditional theater.
