November 12, 2010, Friday - Lionel Popkin: There is an Elephant in This Dance at the Southern Theater
Time: 8:00pm
Location: The Southern Theater, 1420 Washington Avenue South
Featuring dancers Carolyn Hall, Ishmael Houston-Jones, Lionel Popkin and Morgan Thorson.
Vividly imagined and adroitly executed, There is an Elephant in This Dance abounds with choreographic eloquence, clever direction and thematic layering. By turns funny, uncanny and disquieting, the work plays off an overlarge elephant costume to suggest how an individual body can hold multiple histories and align itself with divergent cultural identities. Popkin is an alumnus of the Trisha Brown Dance Company. Original score by Robert Een.
