3 Different Programs | 2 World-class Choreographers | 1 Extraordinary
Company
World premieres by ODC's acclaimed choreographers, Brenda Way and KT
Nelson, and the return of five ODC repertory favorites.
"ODC's choreography is a reflection of the American spirit. Take a risk.
Make a dare. Leap." - San Francisco Chronicle
Program 1 features the world premiere "Waving Not Drowning (A Guide to
Elegance)" by ODC Founder and Artistic Director Brenda Way. A wry
consideration of culture, fashion, manners and appropriate feminine
perspective. Collaborating with Pamela Z, Way uses a French etiquette
manual as inspiration for a humorous but pointed reflection on evolving
ideas of gender and of gender itself as a performance.
Program 2 features KT Nelson's new work "Labor of Love." Set to Mozart's
Piano Concerto no. 2, the full company explores the challenges, the push
and pull, of committed adult love as four couples struggle to hold their
relationships together in the face of argument and discord.
