TAKE Dance Company, a contemporary dance ensemble known for its gentle blend of eastern and western sensibilities led by artistic director and choreographer Takehiro Ueyama, presents a program filled with exuberant play, human dancescapes and structural patterns that overflow the stage. The four-performance engagement will feature two premieres: the world premiere of Footsteps in the Snow, set to music by Arvo Part, and the New York City premiere of Shabon, set to the music of Steve Reich, as well as Love Stories (2008), a three movement pas de deux, and the beloved Linked (2008) “...a bright explosive tour de force” (The Daily Gazette) inspired by the music of Pat Metheny.
Dancers: Kristen Arnold, Jill Echo, John Eirich, Kile Hotchkiss, Gina Ianni, Mariko Kurihara, Milan Mikso, Sharon Park, Nana Tsuda, Takehiro Ueyama, Amy Young
