Rain Date: Sun., June 1st at 1 p.m.

Contrapose Dance, under the artistic direction of Courtney Peix, will

present eight sections of a current collaborative work with

scientist/photographer Larry Pratt via a grant from the NSF/National

Science Foundation. HoverDive is an evening length performance

made in collaboration with scientist Larry Pratt, musician Amber

Vistein, and costume designer Jennifer Varekamp. Considering elements of

fluid dynamics, chaos, and entropy -- all elements of Larry Pratt’s

oceanographic research -- the piece explores ocean life, communication

as seen in that environment, and the circularity of it all.

Quicksilver Dance, under the artistic direction of Mariah Steele, will

present three selections, choreographed by Steele. The Constant Effort

of Beginning, with original music composed by Ryan Edwards, celebrates

the cycle of ecological life. Caesar and Cleopatra imagines how the

storied relationship between these historical giants may have developed

into partnership and romance, while always remaining equals. And the

final piece, On the Threshold of Memory, set to original music composed

by Ryan Edwards, investigates the hazy space between

knowing/not-knowing, sensing/perceiving, visualizing/remembering the

internal world of our memories.
