Ellen Sinopoli Dance Company

ESDC presents its annual concert at The Egg
Friday, January 20, 2012 at 8 PM.
There will be a 7:15 PM Prelude Talk.

We are excited to present two premieres, which were completed during the company’s residency at the Kaatsbaan International Dance Center, Tivoli NY, this December.
This concert will take place at The Egg’s Hart Theater and is part of The Egg’s Dance New York series.

The concert will include:

• To Sing, Laugh, Play (premiere) – Athletic, serendipitous and filled with joy, this new dance soars to the music of contemporary classical composer John Adams with selections from his John’s Book of Alleged Dances.

•Sea Ghosts (premiere) - Driven by the nuanced textures of William Harper’s electroacoustic music, The Gallowing Sea, this dance delves wildly into a mythical underwater world. The set design, by visual artist Calvin Grimm, features a projected painting from his stunning Deep Ocean/Deep Space series.

•Oh My… - A whimsical suite of five mood swinging dances, inspired by snippets of prose collected by Sinopoli and the music from the classical crossover disc Appalachia Waltz by Edgar Meyer, Mark O’Connor and Yo-Yo Ma.

•Falling – Commissioned by The Egg for its 25th anniversary in 2003, this dance features music composed and performed by guitarist Maria Zemantauski and percussionist Brian Melick.

•Rising Low – Choreographed to music by Otis Taylor (blues) and Iris DeMent (country), Sinopoli tells a poignant tale of loss and loneliness.
