Ellen Sinopoli Dance Company’s Repertory Concert

Selections from the company’s eclectic repertory, including:

The premier of a solo work for dancer Laura Teeter, set to a new solo cello composition by Cornelius Dufallo.

Contrapuntal Fling, Leonard Bernstein’s “Prelude, Fugue and Riffs” drives this energetic piece as the dancers scat, syncopate, shadow and swing to a truly extraordinary array of sound. “…surrenders to the innate desires of the body to follow the impulses called up by the music” ~ Times Union

Pierre ’s Words, A multi-layered work with dancers, musicians and a poet responding to and guided by the electronic orchestration of composer Joel Chadabe. “abstract and expressionistic…shape, motion, balance and velocity on their own terms” ~ Metroland

Sandungera, set to Latin Jazz, Cuban and Tango music, begins with a simmering heat that bursts into an irresistible energy and flair.

Sea Ghosts, Driven by the nuanced textures of William Harper’s electroacoustic music, The Gallowing Sea, this dance delves wildly into the world of mythical creatures whose enigmatic tentacle-like arms and legs surround, encircle and intertwine in a capricious granting of physicality, only to spirit it away at will.
