May 2006 Caitlin
Corbett Dance Co. Caitlin Corbett , artistic director of Caitlin Corbett Dance Company, has been presenting work in the Boston area since 1984. Her early influence by New York's Judson Theatre choreographers prompted her to abandon virtuosity while heralding the everyday. She has been strongly influenced by the sublime beauty of the ordinary, pedestrian movement, and chance. Juxtaposing the everyday with the explosive physicality of her movement style, her choreography has become an idiosyncratic blend of original movement and gesture often performed by both dancers and non-dancers. "Her movement vocabulary - which is lush and spare at once - is so distinctive that is has the kinesthetic effect of a rich flavor lingering on your tongue… Corbett's work not only addresses intellectual questions but also has humor and heart." Thea Singer, Boston Globe. For more information, contact Caitlin Corbett at ccorbett@salemstate.edu. Margot Parsons Dance Co. Friday, May 19 and Saturday, May 20 at 7:30 p.m. Boston University Dance Theater DanceVisions, Inc. is celebrating it 24th anniversary with “Sweeping Pools of Time,” an evening of dances by Margot Parsons Dance Company. There will be five works that include a premier by Margot Parsons; a collaborative work conceived and directed by Judith Chaffee and danced by Ramelle Adams, Ann Brown Allen, Judith Chaffee, Margot Parsons, and Micki Taylor-Pinney; and a work by a new choreographer and Company member, Angelina Lin. Margot Parsons choreography emphasizes musicality, space, and the infusion of the ballet vocabulary with contemporary angularity to capture the beauty and grace of the human spirit. The works presented are a sequence of personal responses to the complexity of the world. Margot Parsons' work utilizes “…an expansive embrace of traditional vocabulary…enriched by modern influences…” ( Boston Globe, 2004). The Boston Herald cited her in December 2004 as one of “Two local choreographers [to] top the 2004 list for inexhaustible productivity and a fertile imagination.” For more information, visit http://www.dancevisions.net/.
