Co-created by Julia Rhoads & Leslie Danzig, The Queue is an 80-minute novella-style dance theater work drawing from the choreography/staging of early 20th century slapstick, vaudeville, and 1-act plays. In the communal spaces of a staged airport, plots unfold and intersect, and characters become embroiled in each other’s lives. New storylines emerge and accumulate into a long-form arc. The Queue clashes highly theatrical forms with the distinctly non-theatrical context of waiting to playfully stage private dramas slipping into public spectacle.
