Scott’s ensemble of consummate thinking movers, Waewdao Sirisook’s take on cultural exoticism and Keith Glassman’s elegant home-grown portraiture.

Vox Sunday Showcase: Glassman, Rosen, Sternberg
|
Keith Glassman presents a trio of new dances incited by events that have occurred in coffeehouses across the globe. Accompanied by an original score by Daniel Corral, the works are performed by Rachel Lopez and Louie Cornejo: Beats (Espresso Romano) references pioneering modern dance, Beat Generation poetry and jazz percussion to create a "crazy" scene. Inspired by a 2011 suicide bomb attack in a Marrakech coffeehouse, Cornejo explores the commitment and dedication a man makes for his beliefs in Hereafter (Arabica Nus Nus). Funneled from Godard and Truffaut's cinematic styles, Wave (French Roast) is a cross dressed duet scored with a lilting landscape of accordion tonalities.
