AN EVENING FEATURING TWO COMPANIES: LORRAINE CHAPMAN THE COMPANY AND NORTH ATLANTIC DANCE THEATRE. JOIN US AS THESE TWO POWERHOUSE COMPANIES COME TOGETHER TO PRESENT WORKS BY LOCAL ARTISTS. THERE WILL BE A RECEPTION TO FOLLOW WHERE THEY WILL BE REVEALING AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY FOR THE BOSTON COMMUNITY.
North Atlantic Dance Theatre will be presenting their last program for their 2015 season
1:2 An Intimate Abstraction.
One piece of music: Two distinguished works. Beau Kenyon's newest composition challenges two choreographers to create their own work based on Beau's new composition.
Our audiences can observe both passionate new works in one performance. An opportunity for them to delve into the mind of each choreographer as their intimate abstractions of the music come to life onstage
Our Choreographers, Gianni Di Marco (Boston Ballet) and Andrew Kelley (Dutch National Ballet) are unique to the project as they both come from very different backgrounds that have formulated their tastes and movement styles throughout the years. As rehearsals have progressed each piece exposes these two choreographer's contrasting ideas and concepts. As a dancer its a very exciting and intimate experience as we are invited into each choreographer's personal space to create these new ballets.
Lorraine Chapman The Company will be presenting two works:
"Solemn Moment" was originally choreographed in 2006 and presented by World Music/CRASHARTS for Dance Straight Up! The piece was inspired by a photograph taken in the 1980's of an amateur performance troupe from an obscure region of foreign country. The dancers enact choreography and song; perhaps they are rehearsing, perhaps they are performing, or perhaps they are fantasizing. The work is an invitation to glance inside their world.
"Salute" premiered in 2015 in a Pentacle presents The Gallery and is a dance for 3 women in colorful, sequined jumpsuits. As the dancers journey through Beethoven's Concert No. 5 in E Flat Major for Piano and Orchestra, they take timeout to communicate non-verbally with the audience through gestures. This gesticulation was created by each dancer filming themselves talking, by themselves, for five minutes then learning their physical accompaniment.
Also featuring Madame Sherry (2012) by David Parker of David Parker & The Bang Group. A solo created for Lorraine for LCTC's 10th Anniversary Showcase. The solo embodies a cinematic intersection where hopes and dreams both aspiring, and retired, reverentially meet.
The reception following the performance will be revealing more information on the formation of a collaborative, interdisciplinary performing arts center and pre-professional training program! This center would assemble artists of every conceivable discipline under one roof with the objective of making compelling, conceptual dance-theater that is current and on par with the global evolution of the art form. And not only to make it! - But also to create a pre-professional training program for teen-age students that will enable its graduates to enter top college dance major programs!
Join us after the performance to hear more about our vision and strategy for pursuing this ambitious endeavor! Mingle, meet the Artists and hear about our plans for the future while enjoying some refreshments and hors d'oeuvres.
