Performance

Rocket Girl

1 upcoming performance in New York

“Rocket Girl,” by choreographer Agnes Swiercz, arrives at BRIC as a live dance work with a name that carries other cultural echoes, including an independent music imprint abroad. Here, the title is repurposed to frame a study of propulsion and orbit in the body, with movement that toggles between control and drift. If this is its New York City debut, it reads as part of a local lineage of performance that tests how identity is built from repetition, impact, and pause. Its spare approach trusts duration and detail to do the talking.
