“Secret Dark World” (Premiere), by former Ririe-Woodbury dancer Keith Johnson, is a timely and thought provoking work inspired by the secret languages of children, the brutality of childhood/adolescence, and how these formative experiences shape our lives.
“West” (Premiere), by Charlotte Boye-Christensen explores the sociopolitical and physical landscape of a land marked by contrasts, tension, freedom, and violence – a place of endless vistas, spaces untouched by civilization, and a land of refuge for the free-spirited.
“It’s Gonna Get Loud,” by Tony Award winning Karole Armitage (coined the “Punk-ballerina” by Vanity Fair), is a work that was created for the company in 2009 drawing inspiration from the rawness and directness of the Punk-era and set to an original score by Rhys Chatham.
A work by one of America’s foremost choreographers, Bill T. Jones, completes the program. “Duet” explores pure movement and abstraction and draws on the tension between and the elegance inherent in two people moving together in perfect unison.
