Cleveland Contemporary Dance Theatre Presents

THE MEN'S PROJECT:  MEN IN MOTION

The female dancer has long been the icon that symbolizes the beauty and 
sensuality of dance. Over the course of Cleveland Contemporary Dance 
Theatre's 2005-2006 season the company will celebrate the male dancer and 
highlight his athleticism, power and strength through dynamic new 
contemporary works for Cleveland Contemporary Dance Theatre set on an 
ensemble of 7-10 male dancers. 

The Men's Project will present new works for Cleveland Contemporary Dance 
Theatre by artistic director Michael Medcalf and Groundworks Dance Theater's 
artistic director David Shimotakahara. Chicago-based choreographer Kevin Iega 
Jeff will remount  "Church of Nations" and Minneapolis based duo Shapiro and 
Smith will restage  "To Have and To Hold".  For both work this will be the 
first time they will be seen on an all male ensemble.
