The Ruth Page Center for the Arts

"Cycles" features works by four Chicago dancemakers: Gabriela Chavez, Ginger Farley, Carrie Hanson, and Rigo Saura.Presented by The Seldoms, Ginger Farley, and Hedwig Dances at The Ruth Page Center for the Arts on July 12th and 13th, 2024. All at OnceChoreography: Carrie Hanson (Artistic Director, The Seldoms) Performance: Haley Marcin Music: Silent Relay by Tim DaisyIn making this solo with origins in a 2005 solo made with Joanna Rosenthal Read, Hanson and Marcin attempted to apply principles of cubism to dance, interested in the shaping and torque of the body as the dancer tries to reveal multiple facings and perspectives at once. “All at Once” draws particularly from Pablo Picasso's 1907 painting, Les Desmoiselles d'Avignon, and works also to challenge and deny the gaze, recovering some agency of the figure. Hanson was moved to return to the solo during the 50th Anniversary of Picasso’s death, and the solo was performed recently at the Art Institute of Chicago in proximity to his paintings. between.…birth and death apply to everybody constantly, at this very moment.” The Tibetan Book of the Dead (Fremantle &amp; Trungpa translation)Dance: Adeline Else, Jeff Hancock, Rigo SauraMusic: Shannon Budd and Ryan IngebritsenChoreographic Direction: Ginger FarleyDesign: Jeff HancockWith source material from Tibetan Buddhism, adult developmental psychology, Brahms, fiction, the natural world, and lived experience, this dance explores the experience of being between coalesced states. “between” originated as a solo dance created with, and performed by Jeff Hancock commissioned by Joanna Rosenthal Read and Same Planet Performance Project in 2005. The new dance contains vestigial elements from the previous one. ciclosChoreography: Gabriela Chavez with the dancers Performance: Damon D. Green and Haley Marcin Music:ciclos is a movement dialogue to understand feelings of numbness and anger within the experience of grief, toward acceptance and redefining ourselves. A tender and quiet duet, ciclos is a score celebrating vulnerability as strength. KUBAChoreography: Rigo Saura (Artistic Associate of Hedwig Dances and Links Hall 2023 Co-Mission Artist) Music, Costume and Stage Design: Rigo SauraKUBA is an exploration of Saura’s cultural roots. Weaving Latin and Afro-Cuban history together, Rigo’s work is set against a backdrop of historical motion pictures of 50s everyday life in Cuba. He focuses on improvisational movement and repetition, emphasizing vibrant Afro-Cuban movement and contemporary dance practices in relation to music, dramatization in relation to and the internalized experience of his roots. Saura’s work proposes a reflection upon the relationship between Cuba and the United States of America in the 50s and a personal inheritance of his country of origin.
