The Arts Center of Cannon County presents

The Heritage Dance Project

Saturday, May 17th at 7:30PM

 

The Arts Center of Cannon County invites you to join them for a very special evening of high spirited dance featuring a new face to the local dance scene, The Heritage Dance Project. This up and coming contemporary dance company is comprised of a lively group of dancers and choreographers that include Kaleena DeVar, Ashley Wilson, Kathryn Turney, Tiffany Philpot, and Mary Catherine Musick.

This group of young artists strives to provide audiences with a unique and fun experience through creating an atmosphere that makes a strong connection both physically and emotionally with the audience, demonstrating their philosophy that “if one can move, think, and feel: then one can dance.”

The audience is taken on a journey using various styles of dance such as traditional ballet, modern, jazz and contemporary with the music choices ranging from jazz, big band, classical to bluegrass. The company‘s unique skill lies in its ability to produce works that combine natural movement patterns of the body, demanding powerful movement, and the sensitive portrayal of cultural nuances and personal narratives. Come and enjoy an evening that highlights choreography and that is creative, unique and inventive!

Company member Kaleena DeVar states, “We have tried to develop works that the patrons at the Arts Center would find entertaining and innovative and we want to give our audiences an experience that makes them want to come back again and again. My personal works tell a story…whether about childhood, old age or something as simple as beauty.  It is a movement narrative… a play without words.”

The Heritage Dance Project is sponsored by Mitch Wilson/State Farm Insurance and part of the Art Center’s 2008 Concert Series. Ticket prices are $15 for adults, $12 for seniors, groups or students.
