Momentum '08 "Untold Stories"

Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company presents Momentum “Untold Stories”, their 2nd annual alumni dance concert. Dancers from Los Angelos, Long Beach, New York City, San Francisco and Salt Lake City will present a thought provoking and fascinating dance and dance/theatre production. This show will feature an eclectic conglomerate of RWDC artists and choreographers, including Chia-Chi Chiang, Javier Cordoba, Juan Carlos Claudio, Aaron Draper, Jill Voorhees Edwards, Tracy Ginsberg (guest), Christine Hasegawa, Tammy Metz-Starr, Stephen Terry, Liberty Valentine and Keith Johnson/Dancers.
After a successful RWDC alumni performance last August, Juan Carlos Claudio and Jill Voorhees Edwards are taking the risk, once again, by producing their second annual Momentum show. One highlight of the evening will be acclaimed dancer and choreographer Keith Johnson/Dancers, which critic Ben Widdey has described as:
“nice kinetic quality in Johnson’s work, which is, perhaps, a reflection of his personal movement history with Bill T. Jones, Creach/Koester and Doug Varone. Everything lands softly and ripples out from the core. It looks both weighted and light, and as if it feels good to do, organic, healthy”.
Momentum “Untold Stories” merges the path of ten Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company alumni. Each one of these artists has made a name in their own capacities and will enchant you with a beautiful, emotionally charged and mature performance.
