Hi!

Sorry we sent our post to you yesterday with the wrong dates. The correct
time for our concert November 1, 2, 6-9 at 7 pm and November 3rd at 2:30 pm.
We would greatly appreciate it if you can post the corrected version as
below:

*The Department of Dance Presents Fall 2024 Faculty & Guest Artist Concert
Voyages*



Case Western Reserve University’s Department of Dance announces the 2024
production of Voyages. An evening of exciting new and revisited works,
Voyages features Gary Galbraith’s new technology-infused *Quest*, Richard
Oaxaca’s *Rooted*, as well as the return of *Into the Wind* by department
chair Karen Potter and last year’s audience favorite *Cave of the Heart* by
Martha Graham.


*Voyages* will be performed on November 1, 2, 6-9 at 7 pm and November 3rd
at 2:30 pm at Mather Dance Center, 11040 Bellflower Road, on the Case
Western Reserve campus in University Circle.



*Into the Wind*



Karen Potter’s *Into the Wind *brings a unique blend of contemporary dance
and aerial acrobatics to the stage. Set to the atmospheric music of
Elena-Kats Chernin, this duet transports the audience into a world where
the boundaries between earth and sky blur. Dancers Richard Oaxaca and
Helium Valentine navigate a landscape of sweeping aerial silks, using fluid
motions to echo the natural grace of wind. As they ascend into the silks,
the audience is captivated by breathtaking, gravity-defying choreography,
creating a visually stunning and emotionally charged experience.



*Rooted*



*Rooted*, a new work by Richard Oaxaca, draws inspiration from the Tree of
Life, a powerful symbol across cultures and religions. Set to music by
composers Giya Kancheli and Philip Glass, the piece features 13 dancers
embodying the forces of life, connection, and the cyclical nature of
existence. Oaxaca’s choreography, paired with costumes designed by Oaxaca
and Karen Potter, creates a visual and emotional journey that celebrates
the interconnectedness of all living things. The dancers’ movements flow
like roots and branches, reminding us of the deep bonds that link life and
death.



*Cave of the Heart*



Martha Graham’s iconic ballet *Cave of the Heart* returns to Case Western
Reserve University in a landmark performance, marking the first time the
work will be performed outside the Martha Graham Dance Company.
Choreographed by the legendary Martha Graham in 1946, and set to the
powerful music of Samuel Barber, Cave of the Heart explores the destructive
force of jealousy through the myth of Medea. With a striking set by the
renowned artist Isamu Noguchi, this performance brings together Graham’s
visionary storytelling and expressive movement in an unforgettable
exploration of human emotion.



*Quest*



Gary Galbraith’s *Quest* is a cutting-edge fusion of dance, mythology, and
technology. This groundbreaking work, set to a commissioned score by
award-winning composer Gabriel Jon Griswold, combines contemporary
choreography with Microsoft’s HoloLens mixed reality, 3-D LiDAR tracking,
and surround sound. Inspired by ancient Mayan mythology, Quest tells the
story of twin warriors battling the dark lords of the underworld, with live
holograms interacting with the dancers to create a mesmerizing experience.
Galbraith’s innovative vision redefines the boundaries of performance,
immersing the audience in a world where technology and myth merge
seamlessly.
