AVANT/ APRES LE DELUGE

November 22, 2005 by segovia

Dear Friends,

Have you ever wondered what would happen if the 18th century and the 21st century violently collided?  Wonder no longer! Ladies and Gentlemen, I am pleased to announce the opening of a spectacle that dazzles the eye and whirls the brain into a frothy mush:

Avant/Après le Déluge! Eighteenth century and postmodern baroque dances!

From sensuous and virtuosic reconstructions of 18th c. dances to Judson Church postmodernism in baroque costume to 18Th c. India Bollywood-style to French Colonial Haiti with live musicians to the rock and roll minuet to a toe-tapping clogging rigaudon!!

Here’s the nitty-gritty:

Avant/Après le Déluge

    This sounds great. Will there be live music?

    I have heard a lot of talk about this show, but I did not see it. Do you have plans for future projects like this one?

    Actually, we would like to perform this show again in the spring in a bigger theater. I think that the combination of baroque and modern dance is an exciting concept that can be explored in an untold number of ways. It tends to produce dances that are funny, sexy, and intelligent (at least that is what I observed from my show!). Hopefully, this show was just the beginning.Thanks for your comment!

    I think Sarah is the grooviest dancer of them all.
