Inspired by Elam's two-month choreographic commission in Cuba, Toes of a Snail lives in a delightfully warm yet volatile environment, punctuated by absurd and fantastical events, and coupled with the melodic and wry new music performed live by rock composer Rob Erickson. Costumes: Sarah McMillian. Performers are Brynne Billingsley, Abbey Dehnert, Chris Elam, Jennifer Harmer, Dorian Nuskind-Oder, and Adam Scher. Nagelberg Theater, Baruch Performing Arts Center
