"Ball Change!" Dancer and company choreographer Katie Ponozzo premiers her new work guaranteed to leaving you feeling up! Ponozzo, who grew up in Orofino and the Northern Idaho area said, "I am veryexcitedto be in my home town of Orofino performing with Off Center Dance. I have grown so much as a dancer andperformersince leaving here after high school and I can't wait to share this show with my friends and family." Other new works include Journey by Teresa Vaughan about her experience being a dancer in all periods of life. Vaughan, who is currently 60 and still dancing, had this to say about her piece: "My inspirationreally came from the joy that dancing has given me since I was a child. I started as a dancer...it evolved into teaching, but I never lost that pure joy of just dancing--that hard-to-explain feeling that perhaps only dancers understand. Now, I have come full circle, and I have the opportunity to express it creatively for an audience." Off Center will be presenting an additional two new works, both by artistic director Kelli Brown. The first is Reach a complex dance piece about relationships and body. The second a new dance film and Brown's third entitled Dune, filmed late this last year in Bruneau, Idaho.
