‘Project Forklift’ throws down a dance challenge
Allison Orr has a challenge for her dancemaking peers.
The award-winning Austin choreographer, who under the umbrella of her company Forklift Danceworks has created evocative modern dances for such nondancers as firefighters, Elvis impersonators and most recently, City of Austin sanitation workers and their trucks, asked five choreographers to do the same: Make dances for people and the everyday moves they do on the job or during the course of their day.
Hence massage therapists, cooks, waiters and a police officer will be just some of the performers in “Project Forklift,” which opens this weekend for five performances at the Off Center.
