Artistic Director Samantha Geracht is reconstructing Three Poems, choreographed by Anna Sokolow in 1975 on her Juilliard students. The work features an ultra-high-energy large group, a sensuous, mysterious womens quartet, and a sexy, entangled duet.
Guest choreographer Robert Cleary is co-artistic director with Lisa Thurrell of Kanopy Dance in Madison, Wisconsin. We will perform his provocative work, This is Not America. It is a statement about the inequalities in life here in our country, as relevant now as it was when Cleary choreographed it in 2000.
Also on the program:
Steps of Silence — Ms. Sokolow’s shattering vision of people denied their humanity, trapped and invisible.
The Desperate Heart — Associate Artistic Director Eleanor Bunker will perform Valerie Bettis’ compelling 1943 solo, to the poetry of John Malcolm Brining.
Sleeping Bouquet — An intimate portrait of a stormy relationship, choreographed by Jim May and performed by Francesca Todesco and Daniel Fetecua Soto.
