Halloween Unleashed, created by Punk Ballerina, Karole Armitage and her company, Armitage Gone! Dance, is a subversive comedy designed to spook families and adults alike in a live action rendition of Disney’s 1929 animated masterpiece, The Skeleton Dance. Combined with images from the wild, capricious street theater of Haitian carnival, Halloween offers punk attitude & visual high-jinx: bones dance alone; shoes fly off feet; skeletons turn into musical instruments.

Over the past 30 years, Armitage and her dancers have shaped the evolution of contemporary dance through the creation and performance of new works. The most recent incarnation of the company, Armitage Gone! Dance (AG!D), was launched in 2004 when Armitage returned to the U.S. after 15 years of working abroad. The core of the company’s work centers on a series of dance ‘dreamscapes’ that take the viewer on a poetic journey to evoke mysterious landscapes of reverie, dream and altered consciousness.
