Presented in collaboration with The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts

Dancer, choreographer, and intermedia artist Elaine Summers was a major pioneer exploring the meeting of dance and film, melding the two into a seamless whole which she referred to as "intermedia." The Jerome Robbins Dance Division at the Library for the Performing Arts preserves Summers’ archive. In honor of the Library’s 60th anniversary, we celebrate Summers during her centennial birth year with a recreation of her 2007 performance, Hidden Forest, which originally premiered at Lincoln Center. The centennial performance of Hidden Forest incorporates eight dancers with musicians, composers, visual artists, and visual projections, which come from another intermedia piece by Summers. Hidden Forest is inspired by Dante’s quote—“in the midst of the journey of life I came upon a dark forest, where the path was lost.”

This recreation of Hidden Forest, as well as other centennial celebrations of Summers, is directed by Frances Becker and assisted by the Artistic Estate of Elaine Summers.
