koresh Dance Company presents…
La Danse & Bolero
Touring Contact | Alon Koresh, Executive Director | alon@koreshdance.org
A new dance production inspired by Matisse’s famous painting “La Danse”. This production combines tender, joyful, passionate and humorous interpretation of Matisse’s three permutations of the painting starting with “Le bonheur de vivre” followed by the two versions of “La Danse”; the work will be danced to an original musical composition by John Levis and poetry by Karl Mullen.
This work has been funded by the Del E. Webb Center, Made in Wickenburg Artist Residency Program.
The evening’s highlight will be Bolero, Roni’s interpretation of Maurice Ravel’s most renowned musical composition. Roni is not the first artist to work with Bolero as he joins a long list of esteemed choreographers who have tackled this challenging piece of music. Roni’s choreography reflects the repetitive and insistent quality of the music. The dancers never stop as movement is continuously layered, creating energy that intensifies to the piece’s final climax.
“...emotionally direct, physically intense, and ostentatiously eccentric”
