Celebrating the 50th anniversary of UC Berkeley’s dance program, Berkeley Dance Project 2019: "the body remembers" will feature works by professional choreographers Joe Goode, Rulan Tangen, Latanya Tigner, and Cherie Hill, as well as UC Berkeley student Katie O’Connor.
From a “haunting” solo to a 10-dancer “mosaic,” the works in BDP 2019 represent a wide range of sources and styles: Goode incorporates spoken word and song into a piece based on the buddhist concept of “the undefended heart;” Tangen brings attention to local indigenous histories and perspectives; Tigner honors choreographer Ruth Beckford, recognized as the mother of African diasporic dance in the Bay Area; and Hill draws from supernatural elements of her Jamaican Maroon ancestry.
