Resident and freelance choreographer Khamla Somphanh, whose dance style and body of work is well-received and heralded by the dance community and critics, presents a new work on the VDT dancers.  This piece embodies the temperament of women and men in their state of coupling. Khamla worked in collaboration with the dancers to create a piece in which we can all tap in to.

 

Kyle & Gina Sorensen(Artistic Directors of somebodies dance theater) present a dance about peeling off layers of clothes, skin, and meanings.  “In a Skin of Sun” investigates vulnerability, the loss of identity, absence, and the metaphorical implications of a clothesline.  

 

Artistic Director Spencer John Powell presents a work titled “Zeba”, a contemporary look at harvest time in ancient cultures.  Assistant Artistic Director Zaquia Mahler Salinas presents “Proprioceptive Rhythm”, third place winner of the 2013 San Diego Young Choreographers Showcase and Prize.  “Proprioceptive Rhythm” explores the transmission of musical vibration and quality through the physical body. The collision of explosive and subtle movement serves as the backbone of the work.
