Armitage and company will stage the world premiere of Connoisseurs of Chaos, which comes as the third installment of The Dream Trilogy -- Armitage Choreographs Feldman that is set to the music of composer Morton Feldman's "Patterns in a Chromatic Field."

Connoisseurs of Chaos will feature Leonides D. Apron, Matthew Branham, Frances Chiaverini, Megumi Eda, William Isaac, and Mei-Hua Wang. Feldman's music will be performed by pianist Andrew Russo and cellist Felix Fan.

The Joyce creative team includes set design by David Salle, lighting design by Clifton Taylor and costume design by Peter Speliopoulos.
