New Dance
New Dance a vague term, dance that can be interpreted with many different styles, elements, and visions.
ACDT director and founder , Susan Collard decided to present this concept of New Dance to 6 different choreographers, giving them the freedom to create what they believe to be New Dance. With some perimeters, the choreographers can create new art as long as it is original, not more than 25 mins in length, a premier, and is collaborative and interactive.
The six invited choreographer were selected for their ability to create quality work within a time frame. Cilla Vee, Giles Collard, Susan Collard, A Eithne Hamilton, Kathy Leiner, Melissa Wilhoit are known for their ability to push creative boundaries, challenge audiences with unique dance styles that explore movement possibilities.
For example: Susan Collards concept explore boundaries with use of bamboo and the infusion of original sound and voice by Liz Lang. The incorporation of a surreal video projection is being created for an additional collaboration with the movement concepts.
Kathy Leiner is using colored screens Walls of Paper, Yellow. Giles Collard is working with 5 male performers and lots of toys. Eithne Hamilton is creating a piece that include inside and outside and paint.
In addition to the performances, there will be two master classes offered to the community (you will get a discount on the master classes if you have purchased a ticket to see a show)
ACDT is now 40 years old and has toured locally and internationally. The company is known for its departure from traditional modern dance through exploration and development. It is also know for outreach through collaboration with artists of different cultures and beliefs.
Not to be missed. New Dance promises to be innovative and provocative and entertaining.
Perfect for all ages
