Photo by John SobczakDance has historically been part of all cultures and all people. Detroit Dance Collective’s 30th Concert celebrates the company’s rich dance history with the Detroit area premiere performance of “Dances for Isadora” choreographed in 1971 by José Limón, one of the most prominent American choreographers in modern dance. His choreography is powerful; focusing on human drama, and often incorporates themes from literature, history or religion. “Dances for Isadora”, a beautiful classic work inspired by the life of dance pioneer Isadora Duncan, is a series of 4 solos performed to the music of Frédéric Chopin.
DDC will also celebrate with premieres by DDC’s Artistic Director, Barbara Selinger and Chris Masters, Artistic Director of Mack Avenue Dance Company.
Isadora, Primavera
“In the Moment”, choreographed by Selinger, is an electrifying multimedia dance that embraces humanity and our relationship to life-giving pulses, rhythms and mysteries of the universe. Inspired by the current science of pulsars, Selinger’s work includes numerous cosmic video images that encompass the space creating a breathtaking celestial environment.
“A Traditional Duet (love)”, choreographed by Masters, is a series of pieces that takes a serious look at American socio-cultural norms, and their self-life in an ever-evolving world. Using Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” as a narrative starting point, each duet focuses on a different aspect of millennial society. Created specifically for DDC in collaboration with Lisa LaMarre, (love) is a lush, athletic journey through the depths of tied bonds (when to leave, when to stay).
Corinne Imberski, DDC dancer and choreographer, has reconstructed “Still”, a dance for four women performed to the music of Leos Janacek. The writing of T.S. Eliot and Virginia Wolf inspired the work.
