Ad Deum presents “Offerings” on November 18 & 19th at
Barnevelder Arts/Movement Complex. The company will
present works by choreographers Caleb Mitchel from the
Houston Ballet, Hope Boykin from Alvin Ailey, and Steve
Rooks from Martha Graham dance companies. Artistic
Director Randall Flinn will also present a new work in
which dancers interact with chairs in movements that range
from trapped, dependent, connected, and manipulating. In
all the works, the Ad Deum dancers take on the challenge
of balancing daring, acrobatic movements with grace and
impeccable technique.
Featured guest artist Revolve Dance Company will
preview a high-energy, edgy contemporary dance piece that
they will be performing again in their upcoming concert on
December 2nd at Montgomery College.
As usual, this intimate Ad Deum Dance Company concert
at Barnevelder Arts/Movement Complex will most likely sell
out, so be sure to get there early. Call 713-626-5050 or
