WHAT: Los Angeles Choreographers & Dancers presents
Louise Reichlin & Dancers 4 streamed pieces from “Urban and Tribal Dances”: “Batida”, “Remembrance”, “Together”, “Alone 2020”
WEB SITE: http://www.LAChoreographersAndDancers.org
Louise Reichlin & Dancers, a performing company of Los Angeles Choreographers & Dancers, will be streaming three reimagined sections of her critically acclaimed 1990-92 work Urban and Tribal Dances recorded for this at the Ivy Substation in Culver City plus a new filmic version of Alone 2020. Although live audiences are still not allowed, these four will be shown FREE on the company’s channel Vimeo.com/showcase/urbanandtribaldances. Louise Reichlin is Director/Choreographer, with costumes by Linda Borough and media created by Audri Phillips when Remembrance was revised in 2012. Dancers include Jill Elaine Collins, Coree McKee Gonzalez, Corrina Gemignani, Eve Metsäranta, Danny Guerrero, Katelyn Martin, and Kohl Lewis. Each section will be updated, and although the work was highly praised when first done, each work has added elements that make the whole timely, current, controversial, and moving. Besides the four dances, a section of conversations with the artists about the pieces are also part of the showing.

Live Performances by Ballet des
Amériques/Carole Alexis Company
DATE:
Mon, 19 Oct 2020 12:37:41 -0400
FROM:
Carole Alexis <carolealexis@balletdesameriques.com>
TO:
Chloe Wareham-Gordon <chloewarehamgordon@gmail.com>
BdA Press Release: Dancing Caravane Project – La Caravane Dansante
Ballet des Amériques/Carole Alexis Company will perform LIVE next
Saturday at 3pm at Gantry State Park in LI City, Queens! We’ll be
performing an array of spectacular and moving works of a myriad of
styles, choreographed by the inventive and ingenious Carole Alexis
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to witness a live performance
safely.
At a time when the doors of most performing arts institutions and
theaters remain closed, Ballet des Amériques/Carole Alexis Company is
determined to stalwartly soldier on, under the auspices of its staunch,
tenacious leader, director, and choreographer, Carole Alexis. For, the
visceral emotions and awe-inspiring athleticism of dance do not properly
translate virtually. Like most performing arts institutions, Ballet des
Amériques/Carole Alexis Company was thrown for a loop by the pandemic.
Prior to its emergence, the company was basking in the glow of success
from a sold-out international tour to Tropiques Atrium Scène Nationale
in Fort-de-France, Martinique, and preparing for its NYC premiere at
Symphony Space in Manhattan. It has become the onus of dance
institutions to adapt to our present international health crisis and
find new, innovative ways to reach audiences.
Ultimately, Ballet des Amériques/Carole Alexis Company has stepped up
to that challenge: embarking on its newest mission: to execute an array
of performances throughout the NY-metro area, and, ultimately, the
nation and world. With outdoor, “pop-up,” mobile shows (including a
portable, sprung floor that is already in BdA’s possession), the
company aspires to provide affordable, donation-based presentations,
with an emphasis on proactive, assertive outreach to and within
lower-income areas. Overall, the opportunity to experience live
performance during this time is unique and valuable. In our current
era—where over 200,000 homes have lost a loved one, and millions are
unemployed; experiencing economic insecurity, as the country plunges
into another recession—it is salient to provide an avenue for
escapism; allowing audience members brief repose from the present chaos
in the vein of USO Camp Shows during World War II. Through these
widely-accessible displays, audience members—who may have never before
seen a professional dance performance—will discover a new appreciation
for dance and performing arts in general; buoying much-needed support
for the performing arts; generating a new population of theater-goers,
cognoscenti, and aficionados. Limbs outstretched and zeal tangible,
Ballet des Amériques/Carole Alexis Company’s dancers and Alexis’s
poignant choreography relate to themes including peace, love, and
diversity, and leave viewers feeling profoundly moved. Thus, with the
cleaves/fractures that exist in our present society, performing works
with uplifting, consciousness-awakening, and enlivening themes can aid
in establishing unity. Performances will be carried out safely, with a
commitment to the disease prevention guidelines produces by the CDC.
Likewise, enabling professional performers to retain employment when
plausible is vital for preserving these artists’ ability to express
themselves and engage in their passion while safeguarding their
livelihoods.
