“a post modernist pioneer”
—The New York Times

Comfort seamlessly fuses spoken word and fluid movement to create a new art form that offers pure magic. Here she presents her 1998 Bessie Award-winning Underground River that explores the fantasy life of a young girl, and her newest piece, An American Rendition. In this provocative work, an American citizen is kidnapped, interrogated and tortured in a secret prison while we distract ourselves with realty shows. Using a channel changer, Comfort’s company of singers and dancers flip from reality (too hard to watch) to reality show (so much more fun) as they offer up savage parodies of such shows as American Idol, Fear Factor and America’s Next Top Model.
