Imagatorium
by Stephen Markwei 25 Mar '22

25 Mar '22

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. Tickets are $10 for general admission. No reservations are accepted. Visit case.edu/artsci/dance for more information. **Only those who are fully vaccinated (two weeks past their final dose plus a booster) should attend any Case Western Reserve University campus event. Leaders continue to monitor pandemic developments and may need to adjust health protocols further as circumstances warrant. In-person is subject to change based on COVID-19 guidelines.**

Directed by Ann Hedger This exciting project, conceived by Ann Hedger, has been a staple of our performance season for over 20 years.

We are excited to be able to FINALLY present them beginning April 1 thru April 10!

Forbes House, the Domestic Violence Shelter servicing Lake and Geauga Counties is having a Mother's Day Tea on Friday, May 6th from 11:30 AM - 2:00 PM. We are looking for a musician or musicians to play background music during the event. Forbes House is a 501c(3) charitable organization. While we are looking for someone to donate their time (which would be tax deductible), I am willing to trade Photography Services for music. I have a professional photography studio in Mentor. So if you would trade music for headshots, portraits, etc. I am more than happy to do so. I am a member of the Board of Directors of Forbes House. You can email me, but the quickest way to reach me is by text at the number below. -- Jim Levine (216) 849-1119
