the footholds project is directed by jim lieberthal. They will perform "Who's Chair" and "Signals Fading". Performing with footholds will be debra mcgee, bryan evans, and jim lieberthal. "Who's Chair," created in 2001, is a comic duet to a monologue about who gets to sit in the chair? Me, or my cat? This work was first presented in the 30th Anniversary of Choreographer's Evening at the Walker Art Center. "Signals Fading" is about the despair that develops when people realize they are loosing touch with their faculties...
Taja will and the vehicles of peace will perform two short dance works. "My Blood" is a solo that has been evolving for three years. This piece explores the connection to self, through self, and journey from being nourished by a source to feeding the soul bliss, in times of dreams and nightmares. "Episodes of: boys will be boys" is a collaboration between Taja and her male company members. This work was created from questions around stereotypical masculine traits, specifically those in young boys and their habits in play.
Eclectic edge ensemble is a contemporary jazz dance company with a diverse repertory that's directed by karis sloss. Eclectic Edge Ensemble collaborates with local musicians, choreographers, and other artists to create musically and theatrically inspired work. The company aims to present a fresh perspective on jazz dance in the Twin Cities creating accessible performance experiences that connect to audiences through the pure joy of movement.
Eclectic Edge Ensemble will present two dance works: Living a Jig and The Four Seasons. Living a Jig: One day told through a jig features music by local composer Warren Park. Warren Park is a graduate of the U of M composition program and has been an active composer and pianist in the Twin Cities for over 30 years. This is his third collaboration with EEE, which premiered July 2008. The Four Seasons: is brought to life with a score by the Vitamin String Quartet. EEE will be showing the explosions of heat and warm wind of summer followed by the ever changing fall.
