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
