FLAMENCO VIVO CARLOTA SANTANA - Founded in 1983 as the Spanish Dance Arts Company by Roberto Lorca and Carlota Santana, with the mission of breaking boundaries between cultures using the universal spirit of flamenco, the company has actively encouraged creativity and innovation while maintaining high artistic standards and keeping the company faithful to the powerful traditions of flamenco. They come to us after a critically acclaimed NY season as a company noted for its dance dramas as well as its excellent performance of both traditional and contemporary Flamenco techniques.

Garth Fagan Dance Master Class Although best known for his Tony Award-winning choreography for The Lion King, Garth Fagan has been a driving force in modern dance for over 35 years. His distinctive movement language melds modern dance with the energy of Afro-Caribbean, the ease and rhythm of jazz, and the speed and precision of ballet. For their powerful individuality and virtuosity, his performers have earned top honors, including five "Bessies" (New York Performance Awards) and the New York Governor’s Arts Award, and the company has won acclaim over the years in major festivals worldwide and in frequent seasons at New York’s Joyce Theater . "One word of warning about Fagan's choreography—it's addictive. See one performance and you'll feel the impulse to see more. There is no cure, but there are worse afflictions than exquisite good taste."— John Pitcher, Democrat and Chronicle photo: steve labuzetta |

Siobhan Davies Dance Master Class Siobhan Davies/ Science and Art: A Public Conversation BMC, in partnership with Susan Hess Studio, Philadelphia Dance Advance, and other local arts organizations and colleges. is delighted to bring Siobhan Davies Dance to campus this Fall. Davies is a leading choreographer in the London contemporary dance scene and founded Siobhan Davies Dance Company in 1988. Ms. Davies and the company have won every conceivable arts/dance award available in Britain and have toured internationally. Her dancers are intimately engaged in the choreographic project and each new work celebrates the distinct language of original movement on it its own terms. Her newest work, In Plain Clothes, is based structurally, in part, on fragments of Italian folk songs that form part of the music score. In Plain Clothes also continues Siobhan Davies' collaborative philosophy: an architect, a linguist, landscape designer and heart surgeon, were part of the rehearsal process, alongside her composer and designer. One critic writing about the piece said…. "this hour-long rumination is taut with evocative incident, glinting with life...It explores the gamut of human emotion in duets about weightlessness and weightedness, pro- action and passivity... That I could faintly hear the dancers' bones clicking, catch every nuance, almost feel their breath, made the whole thing more personal, like a coat I was trying for size. If this is the way forward for dance performance in the 21st century, then bring it on, we're ready." |
