Cage Shuffle Marathon
By Paul Lazar
Choreography by Annie-B Parson and Paul Lazar

In Cage Shuffle Marathon, Paul Lazar will perform all ninety one-minute stories in John Cage’s classic text, Indeterminacy. In an avalanche of words and dances, Paul Lazar speaks the entirety of the text while simultaneously dancing 90 minutes of complex choreography, heightening the audience’s perceptual experience through this durational marathon. The piece will include on-stage visits from guest performers from the downtown art-making community, and with these beloved guests, Lazar celebrates the kinship of current artists to one of their most joyful, playful and adventurous forebears, John Cage.

Paul Lazar is a founding member, along with Annie-B Parson and Molly Hickok, of Big Dance Theater. Paul has toured various iterations of Cage Shuffle – most notable a duet version with the masterful Bebe Miller– since 2017.
