The Song Remains the Same (suite)

Choreography, Charles Anderson

Key to Songs

Choreography, Charles Anderson
Music, Morton Subotnik

The Village Voice described Charles Anderson’s acrobatic pas de deux as a powerful combination of intimacy, passion and precision that creates an “image of emotion conceived . . . not as something that blows in from the outside but as something . . . as much a part of the brain as of the heart.”

which light in the sky is us?

Choreography, Gregory Dawson
Music, Ben Juodvalkis and Moses Sedler

“We all search for peace within; we may choose to take different paths to attain that peace. Which light, for me is an exploration of movement inspired by the lights from above that inspire and move us to be who we are.” – Gregory P. Dawson
