Dayton Contemporary Dance Company – CityParks Dance August 8, 2009

Dayton Contemporary Dance Company Germaul Barnes/Viewsic Expressions

Rooted in the African American experience, Dayton Contemporary Dance Company delivers contemporary dance of the highest quality to the broadest possible audience. The company holds the largest repertoire of classic works by African American choreographers in the world, and has won national and international acclaim. The New York Times has hailed the company as, "...one of the nation's most vital and accomplished small modern-dance troupes." The company will also perform at Central Park SummerStage on August 7 at 8:00 pm.

Known for its cutting-edge contemporary dance projects, emotionally charged, and highly physical dancing infused with original music and live vocals, Viewsic Expressions is a tour de force led by Germaul Barnes. A former member of the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, Barnes' creative style aims to transform the stage into a full theatrical experience while examining the relationship between movement, costume, design and music. The company will also perform at Central Park SummerStage on July 31 at 8:00 pm.

Master classes for audiences of all ages at 4pm.
Dance company performances start at 5pm.
