In "Dances for Intimate Spaces and Friendly People," Patricia Hoffbauer makes the creative process the subject of her final product. Moving between various studios at the Gibney Dance space downtown, Ms. Hoffbauer presents duos, trios and quartets alongside videos by Peter Richards and writings by George Emilio Sanchez that shed light on the work's creation. She does so with the help of a robust cast of multigenerational performers.
