This extraordinary work, one of the first choreographed by the late Mr. Beatty, will tour to limited venues across the country this season. The New York Times critic, Jennifer Dunning states that PHILADANCO is "A company of happy, invigorating contrast...a venerable institution...but has not lost its youthful verve or the freshness of its strong technical grounding." Dance magazine says, “PHILADANCO’s dancers are a miracle of shill and energy. They work in a range of idioms… a company that can do more than just anything. It can represent the possibilities of the human spirit through dance.” Tickets: $35, $29 Check it Out! Visit: http://www.philadanco.org
|  Coleman Lemieux & Compagnie Friday & Saturday February 1 & 2, 2008, 8PM Coleman Lemieux & Compagnie (CLC) is a marriage – first of all, between its Artistic Directors, internationally renowned dancers/choreographers Bill Coleman and Laurence Lemieux, also between urban and rural, stage and community, tradition and innovation, art and the wider world. Based in Montreal, CLC creates collaborations in dance, music and the visual arts – performances that transcend boundaries through movement, dialogue and celebration, drawing on both conventional theatrical forms and innovative community-based approaches. “…the Montreal-based Coleman Lemieux & Compagnie… excited the crowd, performing an excerpt from Fifteen Heterosexual Duets…the dancers ably embodied the characters, but it was their execution that dazzled – the split-second timing during complex partnering and the gratifying lightness of the low-to-the-ground leaps and lifts.” – The New York Sun Tickets: $35, $29 Check it Out!

Dance critic and historian Ann Barzel has said that Giordano jazz dance “expresses feelings, portrays emotions, confronts problems, and analyzes ideas in the tempo of today. It is accessible. In the exhilaration of its presentations, it mirrors the freedom that we like to think is the American way.” “Giordano dancers' explosive technique has fans gasping… particularly the smokin' contingent of male dancers, didn't just burn up the stage but nearly triggered fire alarms.” – Chicago Sun-Times Tickets: $35, $29 Check it Out!
