Floating in Mid-air - dawsondancesf + Richard Howell Jazz Ballet Collaboration
SEE EVENT DETAILS
contemporary ballet meets Free Jazz... In the round.
dawsondancesf and Richard Howell will bring to the Ruth William Memorial Theatre their fourth collaboration. The two in this meeting combine energy and grace that float above sound and motion.
Join us for Floating in Mid-air, performed in the round with the live alchemy of Richard Howell's experimental jazz and Gregory Dawson's physical company. We're excited to bring these two local forces together for an explosive night of collaborative genius. dawsondancesf + Richard Howell
dawsondancesf breaks down the barriers placed on classical ballet, bringing to light the strength and beauty that artists possess within themselves while transforming audiences and the world of dance that surrounds them.
"Dawson works in the contemporary ballet idiom, characterized by balletic grammar mixed with lissome spines, thrusting rib cages and swerving limbs." - Mary Ellen Hunt, SFGATE

Tenor saxophonist/compose Richard Howell is a Bay Area treasure who has come into his own as a bandleader after decades of producing and supporting other artists such as Carlos Santana, Etta James, Chaka Khan, Mingo Lewis, and John Santos.
KQED calls Richard Howell a jazz "Jedi master". He says, "My music celebrates diversity as it bridges, unites and merges the experience of all listeners. I define it as Bridge Music”
