San Diego Dance Theater will celebrate 40 years of presenting innovative dance in San Diego by launching a year long Ruby Red series of performances that will capture the unique signature quality of this long standing dance company.
This year, 'Cabaret Dances' features a mixed bag of dance offerings which includes two audience and critical favorites and one World Premiere. Guests will enjoy a more festive event than a traditional dance concert and get to enjoy a Cabaret club-like atmosphere complete with pre-show buffet supper, after-show dessert party, and cash bar.
The program takes its cue from the mood and atmosphere of a nightclub. It will feature a reprise of 'By George/By Jean', a tribute to the music of George Gershwin presented last season. It will also feature choreography by Isaacs and live music from Fred Benedetti (guitar), Steve Baker (piano) and Rachel Drexler (vocal).
The evening will also feature 'I don't want to be there', a multi media piece by noted choreographer, writer and director Joe Goode. Originally presented in San Diego in 2008, Goode uses text, projection, singing and spoke word to present a piece noted as "quirky, brilliant and with deep insight," Janice Steinberg.
Last on the program will be a World Premiere by frequent San Diego Dance Theater collaborator Gabriel Masson, who will created the piece on Company dancers during a workshop residency this December. 'One Among Many', is personal, physical and dynamic.
Featured company dancers include Blythe Barton, Annie Boyer, Alana Burree, Matt Carney, Anthony Diaz, John Diaz, Trystan Loucado, and Minaqua McPherson with Katie Harroff and Liv Isaacs-Nolett featured on vocals and text.
To add to the evening's festivities, local jewelry designer Ann Hardee will be displaying her latest creations in the lobby during all performances. A portion of all sales will go to benefit San Diego Dance Theater. Event patrons will also receive a 10% "thank you for helping" discount. Items may be previewed at www.annhardee.com.
