Nothing bears witness to life's sanctity more than the bond between a mother and child. Tower of Mothers addresses the theme of broken, shattered lives in a powerful crescendo of movement and emotion. Three modern dances by Rachel Miller, Experidance Director and SDT Instructor, touch on a wide range of themes. Meshings addresses the growth and maturation of a friendship. Unbending is a technically difficult solo that demonstrates strength of will and the ability to overcome adversity.
Spikes gives the audience a change of pace in a fun piece described as pure silliness.
Ms. Miller will also be featured in Solo, choreographed by Michael Miller of Wellspring Dancers, Kalamazoo. Director of Ballet Patrick Hinson contributes a contemporary ballet, Sous La Couverture, a work in progress to music by Wolfgang Salomon. The pas de deux will be danced by guest artist Radostina Paravanova and company dancer Scott Osthimer. Survivors by choreographer Donald Stikeleather revisits the Holocaust theme. In a modern dance for ten dancers, Stikeleather explores the dark journey of people whose lives endure great hardship.
