Koresh Dance Company returns to Tulsa for a March 26 performance of La Danse.  In “La Danse” Koresh combines tender, joyful, passionate and humorous interpretations of Matisse’s three permutations of his painting—”a beautiful mix of earthy stomping, balletic architecture and idiosyncratic gestural detail.” (Palm Beach Daily News) The work is danced to an original musical composition by John Levis and poetry by Karl Mullen
