Malashock Dance and SACRA/PROFANA, in partnership with UCSD Department of Theater and Dance present SNAKESKIN; a sultry evening-length dance drama, told through live folk-rock song, instrumental music, and breathtaking choreography. Krishan Oberoi and John Malashock explore timeless themes through a mythic story set in a small Southern town. Watch the journey unfold as uniquely flawed characters navigate feelings of isolation that lead to the discovery intimacy and human connection.
MALASHOCK DANCE
After an extensive dance and theater career, most notably with Twyla Tharp in New York, John Malashock founded San Diego's Malashock Dance (MD) in 1988. It was incorporated as a 501 (c)(3) organization the following year. Since then the company has created more than 70 choreographic works, dance/theater collaborations, theater and opera productions, and award-winning dance films. In its 27 years of quality dance choreography, performance, and training, Malashock Dance has grown to become one of California's premiere dance companies with works presented throughout the United States, Central America, Japan, and Central Europe.
In 2007, Malashock Dance expanded its reach by establishing the Malashock Dance School, which serves aspiring dancers in the San Diego region, enhancing MD's role as a leader in dance education and training. Each year, thousands of students are served through weekly classes, workshops, and master classes.
Unique in-school outreach programming, developed through community partnerships, has increased the organization's capacity to create access to dance education in communities that lack free or low cost arts programming. Malashock Dance's 3-prong approach to dance includes performance, training, and outreach programming which ensures access to dance for all San Diegans.
SACRA/PROFANA
San Diego's only year-round professional chorus, SACRA/PROFANA was founded in 2009 by New York native Krishan Oberoi, and has quickly risen to become "San Diego's go-to choral ensemble" (U-T San Diego). Described by KPBS as "choral music for the iPod generation", the dynamic choral group has collaborated with the Chieftains, Producer Carlton Cuse (of ABC's hit show Lost), Japanese composer Nobou Uematsu, and many other prominent creative minds. In addition to their popular crossover work, SACRA/PROFANA has championed challenging choral masterpieces by such composers as Arnold Schoenberg, György Ligeti and Ernst Krenek. The ensemble's debut album, Elegies & Ecstasies, was released in 2012, and in 2014 SACRA/PROFANA produced the world premiere recording of when we were children by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer David Lang, available on the Cantaloupe Music record label.
