Through an off beat melding of dance, prose, imagery, and music, “Flight Distance” takes an eerie lyrical look at the raw dynamics of family life. Flight Distance is a multi-disciplinary collaboration between choreographer Jan Bartoszek of Hedwig Dances and director Patricia Pelletier of Fluid Measure.

“Many productions call themselves collaborations, but “Flight Distance,” a new work directed by choreographer Jan Bartoszek and performance artist Patricia Pelletier, is the genuine article.”
