Scene from "Flickers," to be performed by The Laura Pawel Dance Company
The Laura Pawel Dance Company combines choreographed works with improvisational structures in both the dance and music, along with improvised talk by the performers, whose longtime collaboration is reflected in the ease and harmony of their performances. As always, there is live music for all works.
This year's new group work is "how are you is a greeting, not a question," set to keyboard music by Phil Stone; "Comfortable Silence," also premiering, is a duet for Laura and Stacey, to the mellow jazz sounds of the Cecilia Coleman Quartet; The Coleman Quartet will also accompany the 2014 "3 a.m.," a dance about that time of the morning - a time for nightmares, restlessness and wanderings, both sad and funny; and the company will repeat last year's premiere "Flickers," inspired by dream fragments, flickers of thoughts, memories of something you were going to say but can't quite remember.
