    Revolve Dance Company presents REvolution

    Revolve Dance Company has emerged on the Houston dance scene this year "as the must have company on your bill" (Nancy Wozny for Dance Source Houston). In a unique collaboration with guest artists of contemporary dance company The Wes Veldink Movement, REvolution will feature both companies performing separately and jointly in an evening of retrospective works by world renowned choreographer and dancer Wes Veldink.

    Highlights of this concert include Revolve's thought- provoking duet "Grand Canyon," choreographed by Revolve co-founders and co-directors Amy Cain and Dawn Dippel. ReVolution also features the Houston premiere of Veldink's moving and intimate duet "Overlap" performed by company directors Veldink and Cain. Set to music by various indie artists such as Ani DiFranco, The NoTwist, and Inner, Veldink's choreography fuses a technical vocabulary with human gestures and postures, providing an exciting landscape for Revolve and The Wes Veldink Movement to merge energies onstage with vulnerability and honesty - a true REvolution in contemporary dance.

    Performance Information
    Friday November 30 and Saturday December 1, 8:00pm
    Barnevelder Movement/Arts Complex
    $15 General Admission
