SLEEP STUDY premiered with the Parsons Dance Company on July 28, 1987 in Beckett, Mass. As part of INSIDE OUT at Jacob’s Pillow.

SLEEP STUDY, a delightfully charming crowd-pleaser, translates common, universal movements into clever choreography. Seven pajama-clad dancers toss and turn, transforming the stage into one large bed.  Audience-goers of all ages can easily recognize and identify with the familiar bedtime stirring that Parsons has cleverly infused with humor, creating a true slumber party.
