Music & Motion Dance will be performing selected excerpts from their new dance work "Continents" on July 16th at 7:00pm as part of the Concert In The Parks held at DeBarth Amphitheatre, Upper Gwynedd Township, Parkside Place (Rt. 63), in North Wales.
Still in development and set to premiere at the 2008 Philly Fringe & Live Arts Festival in the Fall, Music & Motion Dance’s Continents is a multi-textured celebration of rhythm, that is both subtle and complex, yet primal as a heartbeat. Music & Motion literally takes its audiences on a journey of exotic lands around the world, with an exploration of movement from the sun-drenched African mesa; blends of eastern and western traditions in Turkey; the tabala beats of India; modern twists on the original Japanese Jomon culture; Euro-Mediterranean, ethno-techno blends; and rhythmic fusions of Tokelau, Tuvalu and Samoan cultures.
This world fusion experiment acts as a catalyst for the exploration of movement and ideas that reflect our ever-changing global presence, from the historical to contemporary and the traditional to the eclectic. Continents communicates to its audiences on multiple dimensions, leading us on self-consciously inward journey in the seeking of a universal ideal.
On Wednesday, July 16th at 7:00 PM (weather permitting), Music & Motion will be offering selected excerpts from Continents at DeBarth Amphitheatre, Upper Gwynedd Township, Parkside Place (Rt. 63), in North Wales. This performance is FREE to the public.
Music & Motion's mission is to empower youth through dance, movement and the performing arts, ultimately building self-esteem and inspiring creative self-expression and community action and interaction. As a company, we seek to bring dancer and audience closer together by performing in both traditional and non-traditional venues, having meaningful dialogues and discourse about our dance works, offering free or subsidized programs to venues and generally making dance more accessible to the public. Music & Motion Dance fulfills the need of providing young dancers with performing experience in a nurturing environment with professional guidance, while continually exciting audiences wherever they perform.
