Dance Brigade's Down and Dirty Dance Series presents
Mirrored: An Interactive Evening of Dance with Jetta Martin and Michael Velez
$17 in advance / $20 at the door / $15 for students (w/Id) and seniors (65+)
Please call 415-273-4633 to make a reservation for groups of ten or more.
Come join us for an evening of dance, adventure and the element of choice. Martin and Velez will present new and previously commissioned work. The audience and performers will create their own shared story each night through a combination of chance and luck. We will deconstruct coincidence vs. fate and consider the choices, if any, we really have.
Michael Velez has worked most notably and closely with two dance companies in Philadelphia- four seasons with the Koresh Dance Company (Ronen Koresh) and since 2003 with Charles O. Anderson's dance theatre X on a project-by-project basis. After attending the University of the Arts (2000-2004), he continued to learn, inspire and dance for such widely recognized choreographers as Robert Battle, Zane Booker, Brian Sanders, Donald Byrd, and Itzik Galili (of the Netherlands Dance theater and Galili Dance). Michael's choreography and Modern Funk dance style has recently gained ample recognition in the 2008 National Ice Dance Competition televised by CNN. Michael also performs with Robert Moses' Kin.
Jetta Martin began her Bay Area dance training with Grace Doty at Berkeley City Ballet. She has studied with Lines Ballet, ODC, Ailey, Dance Theater of Harlem and Jacob's Pillow schools. After graduating from Harvard, she started her professional career with Oakland Ballet. Jetta has danced with the Natasha Carlitz Dance Ensemble, Jacinta Vlach's LDT, Mark Foehringer's Dance Project and Raissa Simpson's Push Dance Company,. Currently on faculty at Henry Berg's The Ballet Studio and Shawl Anderson Modern Dance Center, Jetta's choreography has been presentedthrougout the Bay Area. Her work has been commissioned by the Museum of the African Diaspora and by the Black Choreographer's Festival.
