Word/Dance/Theater
Word/Dance/Theater,
directed by Cynthia Word, offers performances that are a synthesis of
dance, music, text and theater. Each performance provides the audience
with layers of images, sound and movement woven around stories of power
and significance. The company’s newest work, "My Mother's Gate:
Body and Earth," is a wonder-filled exploration of interconnectedness,
expressing how body and earth are part of, rather than separate from,
each other. People who have seen Word/Dance/Theater in performance call
it "evocative," "absorbing," "completely original,"
"an unforgettable evening of joy and emotion" and "physically
and spiritually beautiful.” 01-May-2004

Suzanne Miller-Corso & Katrina Toews
Portraits
A Snapshot of Movements, A Freeze-Frame of Emotions
Dance
Artists Suzanne Miller-Corso and Katrina Toews, return to The Jack Guidone
Theater to present an evening of dance that portrays events in women's
lives. The concert will showcase seven original works. Katrina Toews will
premiere two new works. In the first, "ConFiDance", eight women
flying, leaping, and pushing each other across the stage demonstrate exhilaration
and confidence. The second, "Singularly", is a sensual and spiritual
solo created and performed by Toews. Suzanne Miller-Corso created "Three
Sisters" (2001) after reading In the Time of Butterflies by Julia
Alvarez. This book is based on the lives of four sisters and their struggles
and hopes in the Dominican Republic under dictator Rafael Truijillo. The
movement in "Three Sisters" represents the feelings and images
Miller-Corso encountered while reading the book. "Left Looking For"
(2003) explores the idea of waiting for something or someone. We often
miss out on our lives because we're so busy waiting for the next event,
but what happens while we wait? Three other original works will also be
presents as a part of Portraits. Don't miss out on this great opportunity
to see dance!
Jack Guidone Theater,
Joy of Motion Saturday, May 1 at 8 p.m.
Sunday, May 2 at 7 p.m.
Please call (202) 362-3042 for reservations.
