Brooklyn based, JKing Dance Company (JKDC) presents 'Thinking Out Loud' one night only on:
Saturday, May 9th, 2015 at 8pm
Come join JKDC and celebrate Mother's Day weekend with Company members Danelle Herran,Ayumi Uchida, Danielle Mondi , Shoko Fujita, Katarina Lott, Constance Nicolas Vellozzi, Brittany Posas, and Artistic Director Joyce King for our 4th season at The Ailey Citigroup Theater /Joan Weill Center for Dance in NYC.
In 'Thinking Out Loud', the acclaimed, all-female dance company features original choreography by JKDC Founder and Artistic Director Joyce King. Described as 'Dramatic Contemporary', JKDC explores King's newest work, 'Per.cept.Shun'- the tour through seven women's internal prison, reflecting on apprehension and the euphoria of 'what if?'- supported by the heartfelt and original music of ardent cello composer, Zoe Keating.
The night also includes King's new and revised works of, 'Com.Part.Men.tal.Eyes', (part of a larger work, 'Threw the FOG', to be premiered in 2016) that probes into the dynamism and complex nature of mental disorders - enhanced by the original music of composer Kevin Keller.
As part of JKDC's mission, we are happy to continue to offer opportunities for young emerging dancers. Opening our show (some of the talented students KIng teaches at the Joffrey Ballet Trainee Program) are: Shannon Murphy, Maria Oka Rieko Tsunoda , Isobel Roblin, Ylenia Finotti, Jiryeong Cho, Maria Sol Marattin , Sae Mantani , Diana Lorena Namwhan Rawinan ). King, assisted by Danelle Herran has restaged an excerpt from JKDC's 'LISTEn'.. - JKDC recognized by the press in 2014
''......certain choreographers, and their charges, stood out as unique. .... Joyce King's "LISTEn (an excerpt)", a large ensemble flight into the realm of the imagination, felt like a force of nature. -- Jamie Townsend/Explore Dance- 2014
For Designs: King collaborates for the second time with Deborah Erenberg, who savors the challenge of creating costumes that encourages and accentuates movement, while keeping a unified mood and aesthetic, intensified by the lighting designs of Serena Wong.
