TERMINUS, A STARTLING NEW CREATION FROM THE DYNAMIC PRESENCE PROJECT, MAKES INDIANAPOLIS DEBUT 

Follow a mysterious young woman, known only as “She,” on the best and the worst day of her life.  Travelling from her simple suburban solitude into the wildest depths of the city, she makes shocking and disturbing discoveries along the way.  Pursued by an unknown “He,” she begins to realize the Truth she has both sought, and feared.  An original movement theatre experience of dazzling complexity and depth, TERMINUS is a play without words.  Join the Dynamic Presence Project Ensemble this May 15^th-16^th and 21^st-23^rd at the newly renovated iNDYfRINGE Building, 719 E. St. Clair, just off Massachusetts Avenue.

      The play is directed by Adam Noble, the newly appointed Assistant Professor of Movement at Indiana University’s M.F.A. Acting Program.  Mr. Noble also serves as the Artistic Director of the Dynamic Presence Project, which he co-founded in 2004 with his wife and artistic partner, Melissa Noble. Mrs. Noble serves as Lead Choreographer for TERMINUS, wielding her eclectic dance background – ranging from ballet to aerial dance – with an understated grace.  Since her recent arrival in Indiana, she has worked with Windfall Dance Company, the Indiana University Department of Theatre & Drama, and the Jacobs School of Music.

      This production of TERMINUS arose from the embryonic question, “how much narrative can be expressed without words?”  Mr. Noble explains that, “the piece serves as a magnifying glass for the voyeuristic impulses we all seem to have.  There are silent moments that we witness, transpiring between strangers and, as if by magic, a story unfolds in our imagination.  We intuit what we see.  We deduce what’s going on.  We fill in the blanks.”  Indeed, the play is made up of a myriad of these silent encounters – some chance, and some with a laser-like intensity of purpose – but each one is left for the audience to parse.  “We’re hoping that every audience member, by nature of their unique perspective, will experience a different show.”

      TERMINUS arrives in Indianapolis as the culmination of years of smaller vignette performances:  pieces of the entire work have been produced in Seattle, Washington (On The Boards, ARC Dance Company), and in Bloomington, Indiana (John Waldron Arts Center/Windfall Dance).

      TERMINUS opens Friday, May 15^th at 8pm, with additional performances May 16^th, and 21^st-23^rd.  All performances will be held in the iNDYfRINGE Theatre, beginning at 8pm.  Ticket prices are $15 for adults, $10 for students or seniors with valid ID.  Tickets can be purchased at the iNDYfRINGE box office, which opens one hour prior to curtain (cash or check only, please).  To reserve tickets in advance, please call the Dynamic Presence Project at (812) 272-4148.www.dynamicpresenceproject.com
