Annie Kloppenberg & Company 
Nov. 16 & 17, 8pm; Nov. 17, 4pm
Annie Kloppenberg is a fierce yet coy force of energy, contained or unleashed. – Thinking Dance
Kloppenberg, “a choreographer of nuances” according to The Boston Globe, will be showcasing repertory highlights from her company’s ten years on November 16 and 17 in Cambridge, MA.
The darkly compelling Expert Witness (2011) features an original sound score by Albert Mathias, who has won a BESSIE award for his work with Bebe Miller. In The Waters at Whose Edge We Stand (2005), three women fall, cradle, and support one another with care, urgency, and sometimes, desperation. In both Indelible Marks (2009), which includes visuals by mixed media artists Nicole Gibbs and Lily Skove and This Terrain: traveled, traced, trampled underfoot (2008) with an original score by Michael Wall, ideas about body, desire, and landscape unfold in movement explorations inspired by the landscape architectural idea of “Desire Lines.” Simple and precise episodes in This Dance Needs a New Title—choose your own… (2007) develop in an ever-unpredictable way. It’s funny, but uncomfortably so. The performers judge an empty chair, describe a prom dress with blue plastic plates, and admonish the audience for potentially having missed a beautiful part of the dance.Between II, which premieres a week earlier in the “Fashionless Dance Concert” at the Dance Complex, presents formal investigations of the space between two bodies that begins with almost clinical attention and becomes intensely personal. Kloppenberg and Kendra Portier of David Dorfman Dance will premiere a brand new duet.
Finally, joining Kloppenberg’s company is a group of young dancers from Concord Academy Summer Stages Dance where Kloppenberg was a choreographic fellow this past summer. Excerpts A Simple Form of Matter, which premiered its workshop version at the ICA and is the company’s next research project, will give audiences a taste of what’s to come for this vibrant company.

This Spring, several choreographers have been hard at work creating new dances with the support of Green Street Studios Emerging Artist Award Program, a program that provides promising dance artists with rehearsal space and valuable feedback from established artist-mentors. Course of Action showcases the diverse dance works that have “emerged” during this process.
Lailye Weidman and Alli Ross will perform an energetic duet, conversing with physical rhythms and game-like improvisations. Jeff Gugliotti’s dance theater piece depicts a tale of desire with unique and expressive gestural flair. Kristen Duffy Young mines the qualities of patience and ease, evoking natural processes and environments with four exquisite dancers. Caitlin Ewing and Kelly Onder boldy revise and recreate an earlier collaborative work to show both the development of their choreographic sensibilities and the growth of a friendship. A short Q&A with the artists will follow.
