[Sarah Morrison]

April 15-18, 2010

MorrisonDance presents Mysterious
at Cleveland Public Theatre's DanceWorks 10

MorrisonDance will take you through several worlds of mystery: real,
interpreted, imagined, ancient and modern. “Mysterious” will feature
dances celebrating the vibrancy of the Etruscans, the heart and soul of
Roma dancing, the quirky possibilities of imagined cone creatures, the
modern mystery of relationships, and the uninhibited passion of
communicating through movement. It matters not whether you are a die-hard
MorrisonDance fan or a newbie to their idiosyncratic explorations - this
collection of
shorter works featuring different artists will hold something for every
taste.

“Mysterious” will include a new collaboration between Artistic Director,
Sarah Morrison and husband and internationally collected artist, Scott
Radke. Featuring cone-headed characters adorning tutus this dance will
unfold in a fashion that only Radke’s world can provoke. Additionally,
there will be an expansion of Morrison’s “Mi Larthia,” originally
presented in Castiglioncello, Italy and inspired by travels through
Etruria following the descriptions of D.H. Lawrence. A presentation of
the solo work “Uninhibited” will be presented by guest artist Jennifer
Sandoval who recently returned to the area from Chicago. Two charming
collaborative duets.  Finally, the concert will include dances featuring
the Roma culture shared by Turkish artist Sevi Bayraktar.

Since MorrisonDance’s premiere performance in the inaugural DanceWorks
series at Cleveland Public Theatre in 1997, the company has grown strong
roots and has become a recognized presenter of unique and creative
dances that are cross-pollinated by visual art, science, technology, and
all things human. Directed by Sarah Morrison, a 2009 recipient of the
Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Award, this dynamic and fluid
group of talented individuals relies on a synergy that is even more
fascinating than the sum of its extraordinary parts. You have likely
seen MorrisonDance featured at CPT or at Ingenuity in collaborations
with NASA and BrainMaster, or perhaps in the streets of your very own
neighborhood in their annual summer series “The City is Our Playground.”
It matters not whether you are a die-hard MorrisonDance fan or a newbie
to their idiosyncratic explorations - this collection of shorter works
featuring different artists will hold something for every taste.

Sevi Bayraktar’s participation in “Mysterious” is a part of her
residency with Young Audiences funded by the Cleveland Foundation's
Fusion Project.
