Encountering the Other

Presented by Mordine & Company Dance Theater and Natya Dance Theatre

July 29, 2010 — August 01, 2010
Storefront Theater
$20 general admission; $15 for seniors and students; $18 advance purchase (on or before July 28)

Two distinct dance traditions – the popular dance theater of India and western contemporary dance – meet in a cultural encounter that negotiates two perspectives of performance.  Mordine & Company Dance Theater and Natya Dance Theatre, two of Chicago’s most innovative companies, collaborate in a trilogy of works co-created by leading choreographers Shirley Mordine and Hema Rajagopalan.  Each company will also perform work from their own repertoires that juxtapose rhythm, gesture, and high-energy dance in reflections on culture, gender, philosophy, and family.
