Dance Shelter 2018
Dance Shelter "showcases a slew of burgeoning talent . . . every bit as audaucious, complex, unusual as audiences have come to expect" (Pena, SeeChicagoDance.com)
Dance Shelter 2018 features bold, new and re-imagined contemporary dance works by the Chicago Moving Company; its artists-in-residence--award-winning/noted choreographers Rachel Bunting and Ayako Kato; and guest artist Emma Draves.
Draves' "The TransPenine" (with music by Bob Garrett) is a striking group work set in the beautiful architecture of the Hamlin Park Theater-and embodying/evoking the atmosphere and sensual textures of an early morning train ride across Scotland: "heavy fog suspended over fields, a cool mist seeping in to the train cabin and settling on skin". Rachel Bunting unveils a quartet (3 dancers and singer Katya Lysander), part of her ongoing monumental work SUNS-- full of fast and furious movement and colored with her trademark mood-landscape of visuals, costuming and sound. Lauded choreographer Ayako Kato performs "eyes", a new solo that reflects on perspectives and what seeing means--all suffused with " a reliably satisfying movement aesthetic" (Warnecke, SeeChicagoDance).
The Chicago Moving Company launches the Echo Project--a multi-year undertaking re-imagining and reverberating repertory work through different casts, sites, and communities. In this first phase, celebrated
repertory work "Approaching 9"--graphic, architectural, and pure-- will be reinterpreted as a solo for powerful dancer Chih-Hsien Lin set to luscious, hypnotic music by Pauline Oliveras.
Featuring lighting design by Jacob Snodgrass.
Performers: Noelle Awadallah, Rachel Bunting, Brianna Heath, Desirae Henry, Precious Jennings, Ayako Kato, Helen Lee, Chih-Hsien Lin, Katya Lysander, Chloe Grace Michaels, Stephanie Rankin, Andy Slavin, Ashley Nicole Urbanus.
