UVSC’s Contemporary Dance Ensemble (CDE) will present an evening concert of “IMPRINTS,” on Friday, February 1 in the Ragan Theater at UVSC at 7:30 p.m. Featured at the concert will be the works of Artistic Director Doris Hudson-Trujillo, UVSC Assistant Professor Angela Banchero Kelleher, and internationally recognized guest choreographers Lynne Wimmer and Heidi Henderson.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for the community to view this dynamic and engaging company before they attend the American College Dance Festival in March.” Trujillo said. “CDE will represent the Department of Dance at the festival in performance of Angela Banchero-Kelleher’s work, ‘Fanfare for the Common Man.’”
CDE recently returned from their New York City gala performance of Hudson-Trujillo’s work "Resilire," on the prestigious American Dance Guild’s 51st Performance Festival. “Resilire,” an abstract piece which explores the breadth of challenges that impact and redirect our energies and ultimately our lives, will be performed at the concert as well as Hudson-Trujillo's, “Between Two Breaths,” a piece that celebrates the resiliency of the human spirit, and “Passages,” a new work which looks at the imprints of beliefs, relationships and events that have the power to transform us.
The concert will also feature Banchero-Kelleher's, “Fanfare for the Common Man,” a piece about the struggle to make sense of our willingness as a society to ignore the plight of the less fortunate in the name of adversity as a character builder and Lynne Wimmer’s, “Refrigerator Art 2,” a work which integrates dance, text and media using childhood memories as a vehicle to understand self.
