Lgbt Modern Dance Night In The District

Tickets: [hidden] A Wider Bridge invites you to a festive evening, hosted by John Moletress, bridging two innovative dance troupes otherwise a world apart: the innovative Jerusalem LGBT modern dance troupe c.a.t.a.m.o.n. and the local District-based Glade Dance Collective. c.a.t.a.m.o.n. is an innovative LGBT modern dance group engaged in the city’s renewal. Be transported to Jerusalem’s Machne Yehuda, the city's festive open-air marketplace, where this center of daily life is transformed at night into a cutting edge festival of culture and the arts. c.a.t.a.m.o.n. will present Urfa, a production bringing Middle Eastern culture to the forefront, through celebration, humor, and joyful dance. The Glade Dance Collective are dancemakers, story tellers, and thinkers, seeking to raise the profile of modern dance in D.C. Through collaboration and performance, they challenge our bodies and minds to create meaningful art that evokes emotion and makes audiences think. Glade Dance Collective's District. Defined? combines media, voice and dance, to examine the ways that music and dance are a part of the breath and life of our nation's Capital. These art forms can connect and divide us, but they are an ever-present, and often-forgotten, part of life in every corner of this city. What song, rhythm, or dance epitomizes D.C. for you? District was originally created as part of the 2010 Eureka Dance Festival. John Moletress is a multi-disciplined artist, educator and Founding Director of force/collision, an interdisciplinary performance ensemble.
