*Postdance was established as a term and as a concept during the Brooklyn International Performance Art Festival in July 2013 with a series curated by Lindsey Drury by this name. "Postdance" refers to dance-after-dance, and dance-influenced performance art (and vice versa). This is the second exhibition in a series by this name at PPL, respectfully appropriating the title. Part I featured TYKE dance, Rene Kladzyk, and Sura Hertzberg. Part III will occur in April, 2014.
