- Project Seven's "Midnight in the Garden" will incorporate the company's musings on the environment.
Project Seven Dance Company will premiere their newest work, “The Movement Gallery: Midnight in the Garden,” a nature scene come to life. The work involves dancers representing ethereally glowing plants and animals inside a black-lit plexiglass greenhouse. “There are a lot of transitions from stillness to movement,” says choreographer Cherrise Wakeham of the new piece, which will run throughout the evening with a group of five dancers taking turns representing various plants and animals inside the terrarium. “We're a very green company, and the piece incorporates a lot of our thoughts about preservation and conservation, our awareness of the environment and the magical qualities the earth and nature inspire.”
Zoetic Dance Ensemble will present “Click,” a multi-media performance piece about women's experiences in love, work and family. The piece will be performed in an unfinished restaurant at 101 Centennial Park, where various forms of fabric will be draped over the windows, allowing audiences to see projections from both inside and outside the venue. “It's a work that emerged from the personal stories of the dancers,” says Melanie Lynch-Blanchard, choreographer and director of the all female company. “It's about our work as women, as a community of women.”
Zoetic Dance Ensemble will perform “Click” at 8, 9, and 10 p.m. at 101 Centennial Park Drive.
Project Seven Dance Company's “The Movement Gallery: Midnight in the Garden” will be ongoing throughout the evening on Walker Street.
