Time Capsule: A Century of Dance
November 16-17, 2012 | 7:30 pm
|
A
guided tour through a 100 year legacy of dance, Time Capsule is an
informative multi-media retrospective, paying homage to the ingenuity,
creativity and inventive spirit of legendary 20th century
choreographers.
Repertory
Dance Theatre's prestigious historical repertory highlights the birth
and evolution of an art form, and ties each piece to the social and
political environment in which it was created. Covering everything from
the early years of modern dance to today's finest choreographers, this
one of a kind performance not only lives, but breathes, sweats, and
leaps.
“RDT
follows the development of American dance…with such total
identification and vivacity that one could believe they actually were
the pioneers of those early days with their passion for uprising and
revolt against the conventions of the classics.” (Linda Zamboni, Die Presse, Vienna).

In celebration of the 75th anniversary of Tanner Dance, this Utah dance staple will be performing "75 Wishes."
“Our
Ring Around the Rose performance celebrates the seventy-five year
legacy of the Tanner Dance Program," says Joni Wilson, dance specialist
of the Tanner Creative Dance Program. "For all children, we wish to
share this Tanner Dance legacy of 'creating worthwhile human beings, one
dancer at a time.' Come share wishes, sing along and watch children
dance and rejoice in dreaming dreams and making wishes.”
Virginia
Tanner (1915 - 1979), founder of the Virgina Tanner Creative Dancer
Program, was guided by the premise that : "The motivating force behind
my work is not only developing excellent dancers, but more importantly,
developing young people who are useful, imaginative, worthwhile human
beings."
Come to celebrate this impressive milestone with some of Utah's most talented young dancers.
Tickets: $5 (not including fees) and free for ages 2 and under
