Dance Theatre Workshop, NYC

Directed by Jennie MaryTai Liu

'''Learning in Lower Animals (a biology sonata)' was fueled by the true stuff of science, namely experimentation … It's all so biological, and you can't quite tell where one organism begins, and the other ends. Such is the agony of family life."

- ERIKA KINETZ, THE NEW YORK TIMES
