Green Afternoon X

“Green Afternoon X,” a site-specific modern dance performance experience, will be presented by Amanda Selwyn Dance Theatre at a home in East Hampton on July 8 at 5 p.m.

This will be Amanda Selwyn Dance Theatre’s tenth engagement of “Green Afternoon in The Hamptons,” which is a movable outdoor performance in a garden setting. The performance includes movement installations in the various outdoor “rooms” throughout the property followed by a seated performance preview on the great lawn of the developing work, “Habit Formed.” The piece explores how habits can manifest strength, ease, and freedom and also create limits, boundaries and affliction. The ultimate journey of the work will tell a story of discernment, unpacking how we can be empowered by our habits and not impaired by them.

The performance will be held at the home of Marcia Previti and Peter Gumpel, 230 Old Stone Highway, East Hampton, Wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served.
