Hello Sir/Madam, As the Publicity Coordinator for the Dance Department at Case Western Reserve University, I am pleased to provide the information for this Fall's Concert, In Sync. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you. Best Regards, Stephen. In Sync, Fall 2021 The Department of Dance at Case Western Reserve University celebrates movement and innovation by leading off the 2021-22 season with In Sync, a collection of new and revisited dance works. In Sync will be performed October 29 and 30, November 4, 5, and 6 at 8 p.m. and October 31 at 2:30pm at Mather Dance Center, 11040 Bellflower Road, on the Case Western Reserve campus in University Circle. In Sync features the newest production of Les Noces by Pascal Rioult, the return of Pam Tanowitz’s Like Fragments from an Old Song, as well as the premiere of Ubi Sunt by department chair Karen Potter. A 2019 audience favorite Brothers by Gary Galbraith will also return, along with the premiere of the companion piece Sisters. Les Noces, by two time recipient of the Choo-San Goh Award for Choreography Pascal Rioult, is a sexually charged deconstruction of the marriage ritual, infusing the strong structural composition with provocative movement and unabashed energy. Pam Tanowitz’s Like Fragments From an Old Song is set to and inspired by Broad and Free, a composition for violin and piano by contemporary composer Caroline Shaw. The work was created during Tanowitz’s eight day CWRU residency in 2019 and explores fragmented movements woven together by the dancers’ connectivity and intuition, with an homage to the history of Mather Dance Center. Created by chair of the department Karen Potter, Ubi Sunt is a somber dance for 10 women that was loosely inspired by the sadness endured when losing a loved one. Brothers, premiered in 2019 by Galbraith, showcases 7 of the men of the dance department. Set to the music of Barbatuques, Brothers brings forward a camaraderie among the men in a highly rhythmic and dynamic field of motion. Drawing from the strengths of the men, this dance has a tribal quality yet remains a contemporary, communal ensemble. Also on the program is the premiere of Sisters, the companion piece to Brothers, thus completing the Sibling series. Like Brothers, Sisters features a cast of 7 women and shares the same kind of tribal and primitive feeling yet remains contemporary. Utilizing the driving score by Mikkael Karlsson, Sisters is a celebration of the communal power and strength of women. Tickets are $10 for students, $12 for seniors age 60+ and CWRU personnel, and $15 for general admission. Student discounts are not available for the November 6 performance. Reservations open on October 4th, and may be made by calling (216) 368-5246 or online at dance.case.edu/reservations.**Increasing COVID-19 cases within Northeast Ohio have prompted Case Western Reserve to resume its requirement that masks be worn indoors.
