with guest artists Amanda Plecha and Jaqueline Tse | | AC's 18th SEASON ABOUT THE WORKS THE DIRECTORS MAILING LIST/FACEBOOK ABOUT US AC HOME | | ABOUT THE WORKS: | ACDC’s 2013 Works include:
Index – Choreographed by the nationally renowned Murray Louis, restaged and directed by Alberto del Saz (New York) and coached by Marilyn Byers. Index is a representation of Louis’ creative process where the idea of ‘Unique Gesture’ is a profound dance concept that combines the body, mind and spirit.
Study in Frames – Choreographed by Talani Torres (Florida), the ACDC guest artist’s work is a representation of the concept of emotional confinement and physical boundaries explored in movement and viewed through the lens of a camera.
Stay – Choreographed by Renée Brozic Barger, ACDC’s director and professor and director of HCC’s dance program presents a work in which the dancing is alternately “raw and vulnerable/ tough and cruel, stark and isolating/ passionate and lush.”
Under The Sun – Choreographed by Joan Nicholas-Walker, ACDC’s assistant director and HCC faculty member. "A contemporary modern work that features a complex character that is uncomfortable in his role. Is the role appointed or selected?”
Jeff, Andy, and the Business of Art – Choreographed by S. J. Ewing (DC), ACDC guest artist, offers a work where the focus is on Andy Warhol and Pop Art.
Happily Ever Laughter – Choreographed by Stephanie Yezek Jolivet, HCC dance instructor, presents a work inspired by “contemporary and matrimonial bliss."
Rise – Choreographed by Jen Graham (MD), guest artist, offers a work embarking on a journey about insecurities and anxiety.
Werkin'.... Hard! – Choreographed by Aysha Upchurch, HCC dance faculty, brings an upbeat, hip hop work featuring the entire company to the stage. | | AC's 18th SEASON ABOUT THE WORKS THE DIRECTORS MAILING LIST/FACEBOOK ABOUT US AC HOME | | ABOUT US: HCC's Arts Collective and Dance Program | About HCC’s Arts Collective: A Force to be Reckoned With!
