Feb 20-21, 8pm-9:30pm both days

Sonya Delwaide: "Je Me Souviens"
ledges and bones dance project: "Politics of Intimacy"

Sonya Delwaide digs into her French-Canadian heritage to understand the meaing behind Quebec's motto "Je me souviens" (I remember). A source of debate through time, the motto has come to signify what people choose to remember. The "endlessly inventive choreographer" (San Francisco Magazine) brings up images of collective and personal memories to create a quartet and duet that explore the way we remember. Danced by Peiling Kao and former ODC/Dance members Andrea Basile, Brandon "Private" Freeman and Yukie Fujimoto, "Je Me Souviens" will bring up our own memories, both public and private.

Holly Johnston's "Politics of Intimacy" unites six dancers in an exploration of gender and sexual orientation, traversing the push and pull of private and public forces. How does societal influence form our identity and how do we reconcile conflicting identities in a romantic parntership? Gay, straight, single, coupled or married, all kinds of relationships are examined through ledges and bones dance project's "fearless and fluid" movement (Dance Magazine).
