'Rapture Series' of Dance Atop Frank Gehry's Buildings Moving Forward, Launch Planned for 2013

Even if you don’t know dance all that well, it’s likely that you know the work of Noemie Lafrance, at the very least from her choreography for Fiest‘s “1, 2, 3, 4” music video. You might also remember hearing about her project, the “Rapture Series,” when it debuted atop the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts in New York in the fall of 2008. First being commissioned to dance atop that Frank Gehry building (using sets of rigs for dancers, allowing them to hang off the side of the sloping building), Lafrance planned to expand the series by choreographing dances across 10 of Gehry’s buildings around the world.
