Experiment #6 - Adriane Brayton

CHOREOGRAPHY Adriane Brayton

DANCERS Fernadina Chan, Joe Gonzales

MUSIC Lemon Jelly: Experiment No. 6

Each dancer brings their unique body experience and wisdom into the studio. Drawing from the dancers body histories and movement preferences, phrase work unfolds expressing the dynamic of these two distinct movers. Experiment No. 6 explores the elements of theme and variation, rhythm, and friendly interplay of two different bodies moving in space.

Across The Doorsill - Jody Weber

CHOREOGRAPHY Jody Weber

DANCERS Joan Green, Maggie Husak, Eliza Mallouk, Marcie Mitler, Jennifer Roberts

MUSIC Michael Wall, Marcelo Zarvos

TEXT Rumi, Jeannette Winterson

Across the doorsill is the result of moments that shift one’s perspective or experience of both the internal and external world permanently — the new path — the surprising or unexpected journey.

Past and Future Preludes - Peter DiMuro

CHOREOGRAPHY Peter DiMuro, in collaboration with the dancers

DANCERS Ann Abbott Fontaine, Ann Brown Allen, Dianna Daly, Eleanor Duckworth, Jackie Flynn, Edie Hettinger, Karen Klein, Sara Lapery, Eliza Mallouk, Marcie Mitler, Marin Orlosky-Randow, Alison Ryan

MUSIC Sergei Rachmaninov

Past And Future Preludes is a companion work to Future Preludes, that utilizes all of Rachmaninov’s Preludes premiering in late June at Dance Place, Washington, DC. Common between the two works is the sourcing of “other”: in Washington, collaborations among genres of dance as diverse as Hip Hop and Hula; in Boston, the dialogue among an inter-generational cast of women.
