Hofesh Shechter Company’s Theatre of Dreams uses contemporary dance to plunge its audience into a shared dream state

It’s tough to tie Shechter’s style to any one dance lineage, but modern floorwork; commonplace gestures rendered sharp and frenzied; and loose, hip-circling movements often reserved for low-lit clubs evoke the woozy surreality of half-revealed consciousness.
