June 16, 17, and 18 at 8pm, June 19 at 3pm
Margaret Jenkins Dance Company (MJDC) celebrates its 50th Anniversary Season with the World Premiere of the major international project, "Global Moves," created in collaboration with and featuring guest performers from Cross Move Lab of China and the United States, Kolben Dance Company of Israel, and Tanusree Shankar Dance Company from India. "Global Moves" is a timely investigation exploring how the globe moves and how we move - conceptually, virtually, and in reality. Performances will travel inside and outside the newly renovated Presidio Theatre located within the Presidio National Recreation Area. "Global Moves" will also feature guest performer, musician, and writer Rinde Eckert with live music composed and performed by Paul Dresher with Joel Davel, poetry and text by Michael Palmer, and costumes by Mary Domenico.
"Global Moves" asks the questions: what would a world without borders look and feel like, where we could move easily from one place on the globe to another? What, as if the bird, we could land on a wire, or the sand, or in a forest - anywhere undisturbed - no interrogation. To explore these questions, Margaret Jenkins Dance Company is collaborating with artists in China, Israel and India, communicating their choreographic ideas through letters, conversations, and video recordings of their movement investigations, offering a window into each other's cultures. The artists will unite to rehearse and perform together in San Francisco in June.
"Having worked with each international company over the past two decades, the questions provoked continue to resonate, inspiring me to bring us all together for the first time to revive the exchange and continue to learn from one another," explains Artistic Director Margaret Jenkins. "What internal and external pressures or freedoms are upon each of us as we navigate the streets of our cities, and how do we remain vulnerable to the discoveries and lessons ahead?"
$20-$50.
