Announces its 49th Season

Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company is proud to announce its 49th season consisting of four stunning shows in countdown to the 50th Anniversary – Four, Three, Two, and One.

Artistic Director Charlotte Boye-Christensen has put together an exciting season beginning with Four, presented Sept. 20-22, 2012 at 7:30 pm at the Rose Wagner Center. It will feature “50 Years,” choreographed by nationally renowned performance artist Ann Carlson as part of her innovative take on the “passage of time according to the perceptual calculations of the human tribe. “Lines to Read Between,” by Australian choreographer John Utans investigates ideas of images and landscapes. The sensational “GRID” by New York Choreographer Brook Notary will be restaged along with “Turf” by Boye-Christensen.

Three, an evening of choreography by Boye-Christensen, runs Dec. 13-15 at 7:30 pm & 2pm on Saturday the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center. Premiering in this intimate show is a work tentatively titled “The Perfect Human” inspired by a film of the same title by Danish poet and Film Director Jørgen Leth. Among other dances, “But Seriously…,” the highly successful collaboration between writer David Kranes, comedian/actor Ethan Philips, architect Nathan Webster, and Boye-Christensen will also be re-created.

Back by popular demand, Two, the charming family and children’s show, Kaleidoscope, encompasses the magical choreography of Alwin Nikolais. Running Feb1-2 at 7:00 pm and 2:00 pm Saturday at the historic Capitol Theatre, this show features several of Nikolais’ beloved treasures. “Tensile Involvement,” “Noumenon Mobilus,” “Temple,” “Discs,” “Clothes,” and the visually captivating “Gallery” are all performed under the direction of Alberto del Saz, Artistic Director of the Nikolais/Louis Foundation for Dance.

The spring performance One, features a world premiere by Johannes Wieland, currently the Artistic Director and Choreographer in residence at Kassel Ballet in Germany. “Short Stem Roses,” the theatrical and whimsical work by Arizona based choreographer Douglas Nielsen, will also be included.
