World Premiere -A White Bird Commission

"Novel, strange and sexy." -Portland Monthly

Founded in Portland by choreographer Angelle Hebert and composer Phillip Kraft in 2006, tEEth most recently won the prestigious A.W.A.R.D. Show dance competition at On the Boards (Seattle) for their spellbinding Home Made. Hebert's precise, distinctive phrases pushes gestural dance to its limits, while Kraft's music merges gritty sound with hypnotic melody. White Bird is thrilled to commission a new evening-length work from tEEth, Make/Believe, embodying these artists' singular eye for life's beauty and dark absurdity.

This production is the first creative endeavor of Fusion Muses: a team of two contemporary bellydance artists Danielle Elizabeth and Bevin Victoria. Conceptually, VERSIPELLIS: two nights of bellydance theater and live music, revolves around the human nature of animals and the animal nature of humans, exploring their common stereotypes and myths, habits and desires. A cast of seven influential Portland based fuion bellydancers, each with their distinct individual styles (combining bellydance, contemporary dance, samba, lyrical, butoh and tango) paired with seven incredibly talented Portland musicians (all with roots in middle eastern, balkan, jazz, and contemporary/avant-garde genres). Together, dancers and musicians will perform both choreographies as well as intimate improvised duets. The Headwaters provides an intimate, fully realized and fully focused performance venue.

Building on its fruitful history of working in film, next spring BodyVox will embark on a new approach to its unique brand of dance theater. Utilizing a mash up of cinematic scenes from classic films and cutting edge independent productions, action films will blend with comedy, drama and sci-fi to create an architecture for movement motifs that reinterpret the scenes, adding layers of dramatic context. Knit together with new film content from Mitchell Rose and new music by composer Vivek Maddala, this original production will journey to an intersection of nostalgia, performance and innovation, where we find movies and memories at the heart of our shared experiences.

Tickets start at $36. Purchase online at www.bodyvox.com or by calling the BodyVox Dance Center.
