For our Family and Children’s show we revisit the magical choreography of Alwin Nikolais. Performed on the stage of the beautiful Capitol Theatre, the dances are selected from among Nikolais’ most delightful works. The New York Times wrote, "There is still nothing else like 'Kaleidoscope' on the stage today—even in the Nikolais repertory. Anyone who has not seen it, should."
Giant elastic bands that define space like a huge cat’s cradle give form to the exciting work “Tensile Involvement.” “Noumenon” fascinates us with dancers moving in strict unison, creating dynamic forms while completely enshrouded in silver bags. Garish clowns, frolicking in a black light filled arcade, set the stage to entertain us in excerpts from “Gallery” (Premiere). “Kaleidoscope” brings strange-footed dancers balancing on discs, men hanging precariously out in space, and a pair of dancers on a journey while balancing a long pole between their feet. “Clothes,” a statement on fashion, features outlandish costumes which are changed on a whim by the characters on stage. This exciting collection of Nikolais’ works is presented here for the child in all of us!
Performed under the direction of Alberto del Saz, Artistic Director of the Nikolais/Louis Foundation for Dance.
