ANNE-MARIE MULGREW AND DANCERS COMPANYS 30TH ANNIVERSARY CONCERT
Known for its highly-imaginative dance theater and multi-disciplinary works, ANNE-MARIE MULGREW AND DANCERS COMPANY (AMM & DCO) presents its 30th Anniversary Concert, a celebration of 30 years of dance making in Philadelphia.
Highlights include the premiere of Anywhere/The Big 30 a major work created in collaboration with Adam Vidiksis (composer) with live music for sax, cello/viola and drums; Carmella Vassor-Johnson (longtime collaborator and video artist); and Anne-Marie Mulgrew (choreographer/director/concept) and her company of six talented dancers. The concept of 30 is the departure point. It examines ones sense of time as well as a playful view of the number 30. The work aspires to look forward while reflecting on the past fusing dance, music, new technologies and film. Ideas explore sensations, memories and observations about hope, redemption, the individual and the community, the relationships forged within a group, and how one is informed and impacted by the world we live in. Choreographically, the work has a formalistic approach. Mulgrews movement vocabulary features lifts, partnering, ensemble sections, phrases from past works, architectural structures and extensive use of space.
The Company has a rich history of site specific and film work. Anywhere refers to choreography created for dances that could take place in any setting/environment and transposed to a stage. The performance begins with a prelude in the space, moving to the stage. The program also includes re-imagined works from repertory featuring founding member/dancer Joseph Cicala who after 30 years will retire after this concert. These works include excerpts from the rarely performed Unknown City 1999 which made its international premiere at the fFIDA Festival, Toronto, Canada as well as Salt, The Keepers Project and selected AMM & DCOs dance films.. In addition to Cicala and Mulgrew, dancers include Sean Thomas Boyt, Joy Heller, Ixchel Mendez, Leslie Ann Pike and Kate Rast.
Critics applauded AMM & DCOs work as ever-full of striking visual imagery and whimsy.
