Add Review/Comment | Read Reviews/Comments

Project: Motion opens its 24th season of dance with a nostalgic look back at some of the gems that have made the modern dance collective what it is today. In “ReNEWal,” Project: Motion will unlock the vault to its vast repertoire and allow six choreographers to reinvestigate some of their favorite past works. Each piece presented will revive a part of Project: Motion’s artistic ancestry for a new generation of dancers and audiences to experience. The show will run Oct. 22-24 and 29-31, 2011 at The Evergreen Theatre.

      The first Project Motion show I went to was in 2008 and I have been a fan ever since. The creativity of the choreographers and the expressiveness of the dancers (not to mention their stamina!)... Expand

      The first Project Motion show I went to was in 2008 and I have been a fan ever since. The creativity of the choreographers and the expressiveness of the dancers (not to mention their stamina!) instantly struck me and I always look forward to seeing their upcoming performances. Although I discovered Project Motion relatively recently, I was in luck this past weekend when their new-old show, "ReNEWal" opened. Having the chance to see some of the choreographers' personal favorites from past seasons (all the way back to 1987!) re-performed was a great opportunity to learn more about how the company has grown and evolved during its history. What is perhaps so interesting about watching these performances is the fact that they still seem new and fresh. Each dance has escaped the time capsule that once held it and even the choreography set to 1980's synthpop felt like it could have easily been written specifically for the 2010 show. These performances make you realize just how progressive and timeless modern dance can be. I was also lucky enough to have a friend accompany me on Saturday who was not previously familiar with Project Motion's work. After seeing "ReNEWal" she, like me, was instantly converted to being a fan of the company. For anyone else who hasn't had a chance to catch one of their shows, I strongly recommend stopping by the Evergreen Theater next weekend to see the awesomeness that is Project Motion. Collapse
