The relationship between architecture and dance—the art of creating spaces and the art of navigating spaces—is fertile territory. Previous explorations have included Isamu Noguchi’s highly architectural sets for Martha Graham, and Merce Cunningham’s performances at Philip Johnson’s Glass House.

Now Steven Holl, whose architectural forms can be as fluid as a dancer’s limbs, has collaborated with the Jessica Lang Dance Company on a 20-minute piece called Tesseracts of Time. Commissioned by the Chicago Architecture Biennial, it debuted at Chicago’s Harris Theater November 6. It will be performed at the Joyce Theater in New York in April, though on a smaller stage.
