"HEY" and other dances Sept 18, 19, + 20, 2014 My dances are local but their references are global. They are in dialogue with dance history and contemporary ideas about making. Centered on movement and sequencing, my dances simultaneously acknowledge the inherent potential of all movement to be dance material and the potential for dance to be a lifelong activity. This program of new dances features a diverse company of dancers who range in age from twenty to over fifty. Ive worked with some of them for many years, some have been my students at the Boston Conservatory for the last two years, and others are more seasoned performers whom Im working with for the first time. Without these particular dancers, these particular dances would not exist. DM See Boston Globe review , Karen Campbell, September 20, 2014Read More
