Acclaimed Contemporary Dance Company to Perform on Campus

Known for energetic contemporary dance that combines the musical and the cerebral, Ellen Sinopoli Dance Company will present two dance concerts in the Skidmore Dance Theater Friday and Saturday, Sept. 27 and 28.

Tickets are $10 for general admission, $8 for senior citizens and members of the College community, and $5 for students. For reservations, call the Dance Theater at 580-5392.

The program for both concerts will include the solo work“Tiamat” (2001); “Clusters” (1995), an ensemble piece involving groupings and clusters that combine sculpted stillness with driving energy; “Shimmer” (2001), performed to electronic music by Elise Kermani; “Coming and Going”(2001), an energetic piece performed to music by “Junkman” Don Knaack; and excerpts from Sinopoli’s critically acclaimed work, “From the mind/of a single, long vine/one hundred opening lives” (2002). The work calls for eight dancers and a number of carved cedar sculptures that function as pillows and pedestals, benches and tools.
