[NEohioPAL] Imagatorium Concert by the Dept of Dance at CWRU

[CWRU Dept of Dance]

The Department of Dance at Case Western Reserve University is pleased to
announce Imagatorium, the final production of the 2020-21 season, on May
2nd. The production will feature original works by second-year graduate
students Mary-Elizabeth Fenn and Tingyu Xie, along with senior capstone
choreographies by Zhaonian Li, Joel Kuebler Linebach, and Evangeline
Robertshaw.

Wonderland, choreographed by Tingyu Xie, draws inspiration from the movie
“Alice in Wonderland”. Thematically, this is a witty and humorous work with
music by Raphael Beau. The dance walks through a utopia of three
adventurous explorers and the Queen in Wonderland.

Mary-Elizabeth Fenn’s Tiny Conversations portrays four distinct characters
boisterously exploring the space inside the Maltz Performing Arts Center as
their playground. With music by composer Lars-Erik Larson, we see a glimpse
of this quartet's world and what goes on between them.

Choreographed by Zhaonian Li, Yielding...Strong probes the development and
structures of movements. The work, with music titled “Reflections on the
Nature of Water” by Jacob Druckman, also highlights the kinetic
relationship between music and dance. The idea of paradoxical
characteristics of water is presented in the movements, showing the
contrast between the soft and the strong.

Joel Kuebler Linebach presents a solo work titled Entropy. Linebach’s work
is inspired by the increasing and decreasing orderedness of the
thermodynamic concept of entropy. The music consists of Linebach tap
dancing in various rhythms and patterns, reflective of the work.

Choreographer Evangeline Robertshaw collaborates with Sarah Gotkiewicz and
Denae Eldridge to present Sonder. The work aims to portray the realities of
life in order to be appreciative of our current activities as humans, be
they good or bad. The music is composed by Tourist.

Imagatorium premieres on May 2nd, and will be made available on the CWRU
