Repertory
Dance Theatre is honoring the ground-breaking revolutionaries...those
who are daring, expanding, challenging, and re-defining dance with a
three night performance of Embark, October 4-6, 2012 at 7:30 pm.With
choreography ranging from the modern dance legends, Merce Cunningham and
Michio Ito to new and inspiring work by the RDT dancers and local
choreographers Jacque Bell & Barton Poulson, this concert will
explore ideas of East/West cultures, the Avant Garde, and dance &
technology.
Pieces include:
How to Pass, Kick, Fall and Run by Merce Cunningham
A
lively, playful, athletic dance for 9 dancers, performed to a
sound-score created by John Cage. The choreography keeps the dancers
constantly in motion, never staying in a given place for very long, with
two or three things simultaneously occurring on stage at all times.
Bill Allred of X96's Radio from Hell and Ricklen Nobis of RDT will
deliver the John Cage narrated sound-score live on stage, alongside the
dancers.
Selections from Michio Ito
RDT
spotlights the work of a unique Japanese artist, Michio Ito, one of a
boundary-crossing generation that brought about the literary, musical
and artistic breakthroughs of modernism, and the eclectic beginnings of
American modern dance.
Eight Seconds of Fame by the RDT Dancers & the community
RDT
embarked on a new project—creating choreography by incorporating
movement phrases donated by the community. During the Utah Arts
Festival, RDT invited people to contribute EIGHT SECONDS of movement to
be put into a “movement bank.” Over 75 people (of all ages and
abilities) shared their movement including pedestrian actions, gestures,
shapes, or dance-moves that were part of their own movement language.
As Merce Cunningham would have suggested, “human movement has limitless
possibilities.”
Hello World by Jacque Bell & Barton Poulson
Hello
World is an interdisciplinary, multimedia collaboration between a modem
dance choreographer – Jacque Bell – and a social psychologist/data
scientist – Barton Poulson. It uses dance and digital imagery to create
visual and kinesthetic order and disorder. "Hello World" is a play on
internal drives and external perceptions.
