Under the Skin: Dances by Marcus Schulkind and The Bang Group is the second in a series of legacy programs presented by The Bang Group highlighting the influence of artists like Schulkind, whom Parker considers among his artistic forebears, on contemporary dance. Both Schulkind and Parker have set work on each other’s dancers showing the deep underlying connections they’ve cultivated through mutual inspiration. The program features an historic overview of Schulkind’s best-loved solo works along with a premiere by Parker for himself and Jeffrey Kazin and his notorious pointe solo, Hind Legs. The program also features guest artists from Boston’s dance community including Lorraine Chapman, Emily Jerant-Hendrickson and Margaret Falcone, all of whom also work with The Bang Group, along with guest artist Clarence Brooks.
