WEEK 1:
Compagnie Prototype Status (Switzerland/Italy) - performing Marvin 'a biomechanical birth of an android' - with its fantasy mechanical world with a shimmering landscape of carefully raked sand, modern light sculptures of transparent plastic and soft stone - a robot, plugged into tubes becomes human.
Selfick Ng-Simancus (Venezuela/WA) performs Study for Casio which premiered in Kyoto, Japan in 2009. This is a study of pure, crisp movement using a Casio MT-100 as the sole inspirational source.
Khambatta Dance Company. (formerly Phffft! Dance Company of Seattle WA) performs La Fin - debarking on a farcical and sometimes comical character-laden, theatrical traipse connecting the death of flies to the "big rip," a scientific term predicting that the universe will one day just rip in half.
WEEK 2:
Rainbow Dance Theatre with choregraphers Darryl Thomas (ex-Pilobolus dancer) and Valerie Bergman (Hawaii/Oregon) bring their 12-member group to perform Street Suite. They'll blend African-American Hip-Hop with Pilobolus-style dance and examine the urban camouflage required of the inner city life. Big Bang, delves the audience into an underworld of sea creatures both known and unknown.
maika misumi mt3 (Japan)performs Study for Casio which premiered in Kyoto, Japan in 2009. performs Ditof, the artist explains "We build each new layer of our history upon a multitude of others.
