AVANT/ APRES LE DELUGE
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?
The Haitian/Baroque dance will have live percussionists and vocalists.
Thanks for the message!

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.
