Remember Me [Professional Performances]
Parsons Dance
|
|
Parsons Dance presents REMEMBER ME, an all-new version of last season’s collaboration with the lead vocalists of East Village Opera Company (EVOC), featuring the music of the acclaimed rock opera band at The Joyce Theater, now running from February 2-21, 2010. Following last season’s World Premiere at The Joyce Theater, a PBS Special and a year-long national tour, REMEMBER ME returns to NYC with new choreography, lighting design by Tony Award-winning designer Howell Binkley and costume design by Project Runway designer Austin Scarlett. Program A features REMEMBER ME with EVOC’s two lead vocalists live onstage with Parsons Dance. Programs B and C will feature Parsons Dance favorites including the stroboscopic "Caught". Opening Night on February 2, 2010 will begin with David Parsons performing the first movement of "Caught" followed by the premiere of the all-new version of REMEMBER ME.
David Parsons, Tyley Ross (lead male vocalist and co-founder of EVOC) and AnnMarie Milazzo (lead female vocalist) have created a storyline that connects EVOC’s signature operatic arias (thirteen songs from the band’s albums) with David Parsons’ original choreography. REMEMBER ME is a thoroughly modern re-telling of a classic story of a tragic love triangle. With contemporary dance, live and recorded music, video projections, complex digital lighting and visual effects, REMEMBER ME is the most ambitious production created by Parsons Dance in its 23 year history.
EVOC’s signature works re-imagine opera arias as popular songs, including pieces by Verdi, Puccini, Mozart and Schubert. These classics collide with electric sounds from the golden era of rock and roll, pop, R&B, and soul, exploding into a mosaic of sound in a triumphant musical celebration. They have received commissions to pen new works from both the New York Public Theatre and New York City Opera, with whom they have also performed at Lincoln Center. EVOC alternately headlines in prestigious classical concert halls and rock clubs, and records exclusively for Decca/Universal records. They have released three CD’s. “Pop-infused, hard-hitting arrangements of arias and ensembles from classic operas. The group has won fans among both opera buffs and rockers.” – The New York Times
Parsons Dance dancers are Julie Blume, Eric Bourne, Sarah Braverman, John Corsa, Zac Hammer, Lauren Putty, Miguel Quinones, Abby Silva, Billy Smith, Melissa Ullom and Steven Vaughn.

Lichtungen - NY Premiere of Swiss dance theater solo [Professional Performances]
Tanzthater Elfi Schaefer-Schafroth
|
|
This year at the Inbound Festival at the Joyce SoHo, you will have the chance to see the dance theatre "Lichtungen", a "solo performance of inspired abandon" (New York Times).
Choreographer/dancer Elfi Schäfer-Schafroth's Swiss company reaches across the boundaries of pure dance to include strong visual elements and video animations. This is the NYC premiere of Lichtungen—which translates to illumination, or, in a metaphorical sense, a hope for life.
We hope to see you there at this wonderful festival!

In a program set to the swinging tunes of the Andrews Sisters, Pittsburgh native Paul Taylor explores the realities of World War II America through the social dances of the 1940s. Fun-loving images of dancers as they jive, jitterbug and swing across the stage are contrasted with those of our GIs and the hardships faced during the war. Including such popular songs as "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy (of Company B)," "Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny, Oh!" and "Tico Tico," Company B is a work that extends beyond nostalgia to capture the feelings and emotions of an entire generation.
Described by Twyla Tharp as "fierce, driving and relentless," the movement of In the Upper Room is an edgy blend of ballet and modern that leads dancers through an energetic tour de force and takes audiences along for the ride. Set to Philip Glass' rhythmic score, the drama and athleticism of PBT's dancers are showcased like never before.

A Valentine's Weekend of LoveLoveLove at The Granada
With Special Appearances by George Martin and Jeffrey Foskett
George Martin, legendary producer of The Beatles, will conduct Santa Barbara Choral Society and Orchestra in the world premiere of The Mission Chorales on February 13 and 14 at The Granada. The special appearance by Martin and presentation of his new work is one of the many treats to savor in LoveLoveLove, a well-timed love-themed Beatles tribute. A collaboration between Santa Barbara Choral Society and Orchestra and State Street Ballet, the performance will also feature a medley of Beatles' music arranged by Stephen Dombek and conducted by JoAnne Wasserman, with choreography by William Soleau. George Martin will be guest conductor, and guitarist / singer / songwriter Jeffrey Foskett, best known for his work with Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys, will be soloist.
George Martin is renowned for his recording of The Beatles from 1962-1970, but he also produced over 700 recordings in a career that spanned 48 years and encompassed every conceivable genre from pop, rock and jazz to movie soundtracks, stage cast recordings, and comedy. Although officially retired, Martin recently remixed a collection of Beatles songs and other sound fragments in collaboration with his son Giles for Cirque du Soleil’s latest show – Love – currently playing in Las Vegas. (George Martin photo)
For the Santa Barbara event over Valentine’s Day weekend, Martin will unveil something entirely new—the world-premiere of The Mission Chorales, which originated from a score he wrote 30 years ago. At the urging of Santa Barbara Choral Society member Brooks Firestone, Martin finished the piece for the Choral Society to perform as part of LoveLoveLove.
“We are honored to work with George Martin,” said JoAnne Wasserman, the Choral Society's Music Director. “It's a great privilege for us to bring new works to the stage. This program promises to be rich in originality, with the premiere of The Mission Chorales, new arrangements of The Beatles' music by Stephen Dombek, and choreography by William Soleau..”
LoveLoveLove also features soloist Jeffrey Foskett, who has released over a dozen well-received solo CDs including Thru My Window, touted as "The best Beach Boys album they never recorded.” Foskett has toured and recorded (and currently works) with many other music industry luminaries including Paul McCartney, HEART, Roy Orbison, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Ringo Starr, and Chicago. He has also been an occasional member of the surf-rock group Papa Doo Run Run since 1993 and continues to record his original music with New Surf.
The LoveLoveLove event will open with a dance program featuring Santa Barbara’s most generous patrons of the arts in a sponsors' dance, followed by selections from romantic ballets performed by State Street Ballet under the artistic direction of Rodney Gustafson. The combined chorus, orchestra and dancers will present a tribute to The Beatles, with new choreography by William Soleau set to Stephen Dombek's arrangements.
Tickets for LoveLoveLove are available at The Granada Box Office, 805.899.2222, or online at granadasb.org. They range in price from $28 to $53, with discounts for children, students and seniors, and a VIP sponsor ticket at $500.
