[NEohioPAL] Imagatorium

[Stephen Markwei]

The Department of Dance at Case Western Reserve University is pleased to
announce Imagatorium, the final production of the 2021-22 season, on April
7-9 at 8pm and April 10 at 2:30pm. The production will feature original
works by Master of Arts candidate Haiyan Chen, second-year graduate
students El-drick Aboagye and Shadrach Arthur, along with senior capstone
choreography by Jamie Muth.

Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter choreographed by Haiyan Chen and set to
music by Elena Kats-Chernin loosely represents the four seasons of the year
while drawing upon the distinct artistic personalities of each of the four
dancers.

B’roq’n Spring, choreographed by El-drick Aboagye, animates and portrays an
artist’s endeavors during the creative process. Pure admiration for the
baroque era coupled with Aboagye’s appreciation of various genres of art
and artists inspired and motivated the creation of this group work.

Shadrach Arthur’s Einheit is an abstract choreographic work set on four
dancers to a rendition of Philip Glass's Purus River by the Brazilian
ensemble Uakti. The consonant harmony, repetitive pulses, and reiteration
of phrases create an intoxicating environment that is used to help
highlight the sense of togetherness seen in our everyday lives.

Silver Soul is a choreographic work by Jamie Muth set on five dancers to a
rendition of two musical pieces in Kenji Bunch's Piano Trio series
entitled Swing
Shift. The work is centered around the theme of how relational connections
can inspire a journey of authentic self growth. The use of repetition and
spoken word coupled with the performers moving in juxtaposition and in sync
creates a space in which the theme of connections can be illustrated and
creatively interpreted.
