Live Arts Fest 2015
American Modern Dance was born during the turn of the 20th Century, when a number of dance makers rebelled against the two forms of dance that were prevalent at the time, ballet and vaudeville. In a rare chronological festival, Artistic Director, Jean Isaacs curates a living history of dance, organized around ten evenings that follow the development of modern dance in the United States, from the early 20th Century to today. Through live performances, films, workshops, and classes, San Diego audiences will have an opportunity to travel through 100 years of dance in just ten days.
Modern Masters and Movements, celebrates the groundbreaking work of the dance pioneers through the lens of San Diego based artists, as they navigate today's world, incorporating the past, present, and future of modern dance.
This year's festival runs April 14 - May 2 and features an appearance by noted British dancer and choreographer Bob Cohan, founder of London Contemporary Dance and former Martha Graham Company Director.
"This is an opportunity to be exposed to our dance history, as presented by contemporary artists working and creating in the field," said Isaacs. Audiences can pick and choose events or purchase a Live Arts Fest Pass which provides access to all shows. "In addition to being entertaining, we hope to encourage students of dance to experience live what they may have only seen in books and video," she added.
