GroundWorks
Dancetheater returns for a sixth
season of 'smoldering brilliance' (Plain Dealer)
that embodies new dance outside the
traditional fare. GroundWorks is rooted in
exciting collaborations with new composers and
the innovative choreography of artistic director
David Shimotakahara, recipient of
OhioDance's award for outstanding achievement.
Live music, an important element of
many GroundWorks performances will be
prominently featured in this year's program.
Shimotakahara will premiere a new work with
composer Gustavo Aguilar and area jazz
luminaries Howie Smith and Rock
Wehrmann. GroundWorks will reprise two
works from its abundant repertory. The duet,
Migration, created in 2001, will be
performed live by composers Gustavo and
Gaelyn Aguilar. The lush score weaves
seamlessly through this fluid and dream-like work
choreographed by Shimotakahara.
GroundWorks pays tribute to an American
classic, Irving Berlin's Annie Get Your Gun,
with Annie Redux, a spirited and clever
take on his music and lyrics as re-imagined by
David Parker from the BANG Group in New
York.

Its founder has been heralded as the greatest choreographer in the world who creates 'dance that's food for the eye.' Paul Taylor has been lauded as the greatest storyteller working today in contemporary dance even though his works don't have narratives: his dances are full of stories because he creates works about the world as he sees it in a ballet style blend of artistic and gymnastic.
