The String Quartet Cycle

1 upcoming performance in New York

The String Quartet Cycle is a dance work presented live at National Sawdust, drawing on the rigors and intimacies of chamber music as a structural frame. Featured performers include Eleanor Alberga, placing a contemporary compositional voice in direct conversation with bodies in motion. In New York City, where the string quartet is often treated as concert repertoire, this setting shifts it into a shared, physical space and tests how listening changes when movement carries the argument. The piece’s restraint becomes its point, asking for attention rather than spectacle.
