[NEohioPAL] Case Western Reserve University Department of Dance presents MaDaCol

[Meredith Bruch]

MaDaCol

The Department of Dance at Case Western Reserve University is pleased to
announce this fall’s production of MaDaCol (Mather Dance Collective)
presented on November 29 and 30 at 8:00 p.m. and December 1 at 7:00 p.m.
and 8:30 p.m. Performances will feature new dance works by graduate
students Brandon Gregoire, Yizhen Hu, and Yuting Zhao.

MaDaCol, one of the university’s oldest undergraduate student organizations,
offers an important creative outlet for CWRU graduate and undergraduate
students, faculty, staff and the greater Cleveland community members.

About the Works:

Brandon Gregoire, a second-year graduate student, premieres Down & Through for
19 dancers. The work examines a physical representation of how people
internalize an array of pain, struggle, and grief. Emotional boundaries are
personified through the dancers’ bodily contact with one another leaving
the viewer as a witness to the relief and release experienced when there is
nowhere left to go, but up.

Metro Life, choreographed by second-year graduate student Yuting Zhao, draws
inspiration from the daily commute on a subway in big cities. When dozens
of random people are confined in a small carriage, their bodies touch, but
their minds are far apart. To music by David Heath, this piece asks: with
all the disturbances in the modern world, can we still 'see' the human
being beside us?

Third-year graduate student Yizhen Hu makes use of the music by Meredith
Monk and Katie Geissinger in her latest work for MaDaCol.. Inevitable explores
the emotional experiences of death and loss. Hu investigates the struggles
of grief and the frustrations of helplessness, along with the realization
of the unavoidable mortality of human life.
