Pilobolus Dance Theatre
Saturday, November 15, 2008 at 7:30 p.m.
Sirote Theatre
$75 $55 $45 $35 Student $20
It's been four years since the ASC presented Pilobolus, and we still haven't stopped talking about that show! Their movie-themed human sculptures during the Academy Awards a few seasons ago introduced a whole new audience to the eye-popping magic of Pilobolus. Their trademark weight sharing or "combined bodies" choreography, energy, and humor keep audiences roaring for more! This performance contains nudity.
"Pilobolus is a mind-blowing troupe of wildly-creative and physically daring dancers who leap, fly, intertwine and break all the rules...audiences should expect the unexpected."

Complexions Contemporary Ballet

Sirote Theatre
$75 $55 $45 $35 Student $20
This show is part of the 2009 Alabama Dance Festival. Tony-nominated Desmond Richardson, one of today's greatest modern dancers, and Dwight Rhoden, one of dance's most sought after choreographers (both of Alvin Ailey fame) combined to form Complexions, recipient of the coveted New York Times "Critics Choice" Award in 1995. From "pointe" to "pop," they explore the full range of human emotions with cutting-edge choreography and original music.
"Rhoden's work is post-Balanchinean choreography, a new aesthetic in movement, stage picture, and performance concepts reflecting a post-modern, techno-savvy worldview." - Dance Magazine
