This new production of the event that opened the

choreography on a set newly designed by Frank Gehry.

The 2015 revival of Available Light was commissioned by Cal Performances, University of California, Berkeley: Festspielhaus St. Pölten; FringeArts, Philadelphia, with the support of The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage; Glorya Kaufman Presents Dance at the Music Center and the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association; Onassis Cultural Centre – Athens; and Théâtre de la Ville – Paris and Festival d’Automne à Paris.
