Two distinct dance traditions—the popular dance theater of India and western contemporary dance—meet in a cultural encounter that negotiates two perspectives of performance. Mordine & Company Dance Theater and Natya Dance Theatre, two of Chicago's most innovative companies, collaborate in a trilogy of works co-created by leading choreographers Shirley Mordine and Hema Rajagopalan. Each company will also perform work from their own repertoires that juxtapose rhythm, gesture, and high-energy dance in reflections on culture, gender, philosophy, and family.
Friday, July 30: Post-show Discussion
Thanks for a Great NEXT Concert!
"I Haven't Gone There is a magical performance experience…
a vivid and captivating journey to a dusty Italian countryside via infrequently-traveled thoroughfares of the imagination…Fillini-esque, with a touch of Dick Van Dyke…"
—Teresa Pankratz, Audience Member
Many thanks to all of you who attended Mordine & Co.'s NEXT concert May 7-9 at Epiphany Church.The Company was thrilled to work with collaborators Bryan Saner and Mark Messing and live musicians from Mucca Pazza for the premiere of I Haven't Gone There. Plus, the Company was honored to support new works by Ayako Kato and Archana Kumar, recipients of the Mordine & Co. 2010 Artist Mentoring Award.
Perhaps most thrilling of all, was the depth of audience response to NEXT and its adventurous programming. Curious to hear what others thought? Then please read more AUDIENCE RESPONSES.
