Embark October 4-6, 2012 | 7:30 pm
Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center
Jeanne Wagner Theatre | Repertory Dance Theatre is honoring the ground-breaking revolutionaries...those who are daring, expanding, challenging, and re-defining dance with a three night performance of Embark, October 4-6, 2012 at 7:30 pm.With choreography ranging from the modern dance legends, Merce Cunningham and Michio Ito to new and inspiring work by the RDT dancers and local choreographers Jacque Bell & Barton Poulson, this concert will explore ideas of East/West cultures, the Avant Garde, and dance & technology.
Pieces include:
How to Pass, Kick, Fall and Run by Merce Cunningham
A lively, playful, athletic dance for 9 dancers, performed to a sound-score created by John Cage. The choreography keeps the dancers constantly in motion, never staying in a given place for very long, with two or three things simultaneously occurring on stage at all times. Bill Allred of X96's Radio from Hell and Ricklen Nobis of RDT will deliver the John Cage narrated sound-score live on stage, alongside the dancers.
Selections from Michio Ito
RDT spotlights the work of a unique Japanese artist, Michio Ito, one of a boundary-crossing generation that brought about the literary, musical and artistic breakthroughs of modernism, and the eclectic beginnings of American modern dance.
Eight Seconds of Fame by the RDT Dancers & the community
RDT embarked on a new project—creating choreography by incorporating movement phrases donated by the community. During the Utah Arts Festival, RDT invited people to contribute EIGHT SECONDS of movement to be put into a “movement bank.” Over 75 people (of all ages and abilities) shared their movement including pedestrian actions, gestures, shapes, or dance-moves that were part of their own movement language. As Merce Cunningham would have suggested, “human movement has limitless possibilities.”
Hello World by Jacque Bell & Barton Poulson
Hello World is an interdisciplinary, multimedia collaboration between a modem dance choreographer – Jacque Bell – and a social psychologist/data scientist – Barton Poulson. It uses dance and digital imagery to create visual and kinesthetic order and disorder. "Hello World" is a play on internal drives and external perceptions.
