Mendocino College Repertory Dance Company presents "Arise"

In Fall 2019, as part of The Phoenix Project, Mendocino College Dance Repertory Company Presents: Arise, November 21-24, 2019, produced & directed by Eryn Schon-Brunner. The MCRDC will present four new dance works that respond to ideas of community rebuilding and recovery, loss, fear, and stress brought about by the disaster of wildfires. The dance artists, local and national, Julie Castillo, (Julie Blackfeather, Auric Medicine, Willits), Alex Miller and Lucy Wilson (BLiPSWiTCH, Austin, Texas), Tony Valencia (DanzArts, San Diego) and Eryn Schon-Brunner (California) draw on their art form to explore the concerns that arise from the ashes after the fires, creating their own personal phoenixes.

MCRDC Artist director Eryn Schon-Brunner joins forces with MC Choir Director Janice Hawthorne Timm to bring choral music and dance together in a choreographic debut, A Call to Gather. The thirty-minute work will be set to Missa Druidica, created by local composer Joseph Nemeth, and will be sung by the MC Concert Choir. A Call to Gather is a vocal and movement offering to the land and to the spirits of the past and the future, a celebration of humanitys potential to unite with respect and thoughtfulness.
