Direct from Brazil-Grupo Corpo January 28, 2011

Grupo Corpo
January 28-30
Dorothy Chandler Pavilion

Glorya Kaufman Presents Dance at the Music Center is pleased to welcome contemporary Brazilian dance company Grupo Corpo. Known for consistently challenging perceptions of ballet and modern dance, Grupo Corpo (literally translated to "Body Group") incorporates a broad range of elements, from minimalism and rootsy modernity to vigorous pop and urban sounds. The Music Center debut includes the inventive and athletic new piece Ímã, sure to astound audiences with its contagious energy. Paying tribute to Brazil's rhythms and unique music, Parabelo’s multitextured soundscape is as breathtaking as the movements of the dancers.

“For those who would like a virtual trip to Brazil ….” [Grupo Corpo] “is remarkable for the disciplined, uniform precision of its spectacular dancing …”
- New York Times
