Go see two local dance companies, locust and Cruz Control in a split bill performance of two new works, “crushed” and “Dance of the Dead,” respectively at The Moore Theatre Friday, February 27, 2009 at 7:30pm.
locust is often described as the “avante guard garage band” of the Seattle dance scene.
Amy O’Neal and Zeke Keeble’s locust bring the world premiere of “crushed,” a dance, music and video performance piece. Dancers sing and musicians dance in this feverishly physical dissection of cause and effect. “crushed” explores being caught off guard and how often times the entity doing the blindsiding is at times more affected than the blindsided entity.
Cruz Control is a Seattle-based hip hop company ran by choreographer, Daniel Cruz.
Daniel Cruz’s Cruz Control performs the world premiere of “Dance of the Dead,” an interpretation of spiritual uncertainty of the underworld delving into the physical realm of hip hop, contemporary and theatrical dance forms. “Dance of the Dead” explores the realms of heaven, hell and purgatory including the fears, joys, beliefs and traditions surrounding death manifested in different ways across cultures.
Tickets to locust and Cruz Control are just $18 in advance and $20 day of show. Visit www.stgpresents.org for more info.
