It takes two to tandem bike ride, but what happens when you add a third wheel? That's a whole different kind of balancing act, as you'll see at Green Chair Dance Group's new evening-length work Tandem Biking and Other Dangerous Pastimes for Two. The piece deals with what it means to be in a relationship with someone and how intimacy and commitment over time leads to intensity. Deep stuff, but Green Chair is known for its spry sense of humor, so it ain't all heavy. "Some people hear 'contemporary dance' and think unitards and angsty emotion, and that's not what we're about," says Hannah de Keijzer, a GCDG co-artistic director.
