Triskelion Arts presents Leanne Schmidt and Company
Not A Love Story... and other dances

Leanne Schmidt and Kim Goss are equally gleeful and tragic in their newest collaboration, Not A Love Story, premiering March 14-16, 2013, as part of their seventh season at Triskelion Arts. The work reveals the quirks that make us innately human, exploring the depths of our shared vulnerability through a story that clearly has nothing to do with a messy, unraveling, short tempered, and possibly stinky kind of love. See the dancers poke fun at life's mini-dramas and personal tragedies combining physicality, humor and honesty. The result is a journey that is rich in metaphor where the audience is bound to find candid similarities between themselves and the performers.

Developed through improvisational games and gesture play, Some people is an investigation of relationships both intricate and simple. Created in collaboration with performers Abby Bender, Sara Ciampa, Ali Fischer, Kim Goss, Melissa Knestaut, Kaley Pruitt, Becky Radway and Natasha Ross, this new work uses intricate and deliberate, highly physical, tightly interwoven duets and trios to explore the complexities of group dynamics. Some people are just so... so...

Additionally, I Can See You're Trying To Hear Me, created in collaboration with Grand Canyon University's Ethington Dance Ensemble, makes its way to Triskelion's stage all the way from Phoenix, AZ.
