Show Description
There are certain rules that we live by–guidelines that we follow. In writing, grammar rules, punctuation, and spelling; in dance, there are various styles, step sequences, and
techniques. Poetry challenges the traditional form of writing, just like how dance in the
“modern” sense frees dancers from a defined glossary of motions. Compared to a play, a dance performance oftentimes comes with a bit more ambiguity in its interpretation. A poem, compared to prose, takes on the interpretation that is evoked in the reader. People experience dance through how their body reacts to someone else’s movements.
We envision anthology bringing to life poems that resonate deeply with our choreographers and dancers. In a way, it is the anthology of our company; a literal body of work in which poetry is incorporated into movement, and movement into poetry. We will explore concepts related to life, death, dreams, work, nature, beauty, love and everything in between. We hope for this show to be a creative collection of what our choreographers and company dancers are inspired by–representative of the trials and celebrative moments of their lives.
In residence at the Harvard Dance Center from October 28 to November 3.
