Kinetic Evolutions and Rushe Dance Project present #pause: motion in pause, a modern contemporary dance collaboration that began in late 2019. Rehearsals started but abruptly ended early spring 2020 when COVID-19 hit and Minnesota shut down. All rehearsals were cancelled; the performers went into a pause.
When rehearsing resumed, choreography was developed virtually and/or in outdoor environments. Recently, rehearsals have been held in person in a dance studio, where focus was put on interactions and developing different ways of connecting with each other. Partnering became a health risk, taboo; physical touch had to be rediscovered. The past couple of years have influenced the work and artistic choices. This performance hopes to offer space for everyone to pause from the heaviness of the world and to witness a shared experience.
Performance dates are:
- Friday, March 4 at 7:00pm
- Saturday, March 5 at 7:00pm
#pause: motion in pause features choreography by Sarah LaRose-Holland, Samantha Heggem, John Surber, and guest choreographer Sarah Hauss.
Performers include:
Kinetic Evolutions dancers: Sarah LaRose-Holland (Artistic Director), Sarah Hauss, Samantha Heggem, Catlin Murphy, Hai Dang Nguyen, John Surber.
Rushe Dance Project dancers: Samantha Heggem (Co-Director), John Surber (Co-Director), Kadie Habana.
