MORE ABOUT 2 YEARS FROM THIS TIME WITHOUT END

Founded in 1979, Louise Reichlin & Dancers/ Los Angeles Choreographers & Dancers is documenting the last two years with a reimagining of Urban and Tribal Dances, Brandenburg, and Reboot! Reboot!, returning to the Ivy Substation at 9070 Venice Blvd, Culver City, CA 90232 with a preview on Friday June 17 at 7 pm, and performances on Saturday & Sunday June 18 and 19 at 2 pm. These performances are made possible in part by the City of Culver City and its Cultural Affairs Commission, with support from Sony Pictures Entertainment and the Culver City Arts Foundation. They are also supported, in part, by the 2021-22 Second Supervisorial District Arts and Culture Recovery Grant Program, by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors through the Los Angeles County Department of Arts & Culture, and by a CA Arts Council Operating Grant.

A few reviews of the works on this program- three from the original with two recent ones.

"And Urban and Tribal Dances certainly deserves all the audiences it can get...Reichlin's ambitious, ever- engaging, six-part suite delivers exactly what its title promises. Following once again her trademark aesthetic, she opts for metaphor, transferring what we think of as tribal behavior to the contemporary urban scene ." Los Angeles Times

"The most interesting example of her current work was found in Urban and Tribal Dances, which was further enhanced by an intriguing score of ethnic sounds gathered from around the world....Costumed in surreal headdresses and makeup, the dancers conveyed the interconnectedness of human existence, juxtaposed with the isolation experienced even in the midst of society." Variety

"…evoking mysterious, primitive imagery" Daily News

Alone 2020- "For the (Los Angles Dance) Festival, Reichlin has taken a recording of ... an earlier solo entitled Alone, and with the aid of technology, has cleverly superimposed four other similar solos to create Alone 2020. The work features 5 women living alone in separate tents. It is a work with multiple layers of meaning considering the homeless situation throughout this country, the separation we all feel during the pandemic and the dependency we all have on our telephones." LA Dance Chronicle

Reboot! Reboot! (2021)- “An earthy opening …moving through worlds of joyous bluegrass and aggressive tangos…. The ending was quiet, reflective, and sweet, beginning with a vibrating reach that drew energy from the earth as each dancer rose up to join into unison. The cycling music started again as the dancers came together culminating with a final unifying circle, and finally sweeping unity …left the viewers with a sense of honesty and clarity regarding a human need for connection and meaning.” LA Dance Review

ABOUT LOUISE REICHLIN & THE COMPANY:

Since 1979, Louise Reichlin & Dancers, non-profit name - Los Angeles Choreographers & Dancers, has created works reviewed as "wildly theatrical & fun" and "wonderfully spirited with a zest for life". Acclaimed for both Family and pure dance/theatre programming, featured currently are narrated dance multimedia works The Patchwork Girl of Oz, The Better To Bite You With, and from the fall of 2012 Tap Dance Widows Club and the Baggage Project series. More recent works include Invasion and A Jewish Child's Story, all chosen for multiple festivals and presentations.

Louise Reichlin & Dancers burst into the public eye with their first performance at the Anson Ford Theatre when "Reichlin created a sensation with The Tennis Dances" (Dance News). Over the years she has continued to examine our society from its most primitive nature to the emergence of the information age with The E-mail Dances in 1996. Through multiple performances for the 23rd Olympiad, a summer series at the LA Zoo, touring the US and Mexico Reichlin has consistently and continually created "probing and provocative" works (Dance Magazine) enjoyed by all ages. Her work illuminates life with reviews like "Before a triumphant finale, a world and its history have passed before our eyes, thanks to Louise Reichlin." (Los Angeles Times - from a review of Urban and Tribal Dances)
