Week 1 (March 17-19): DOUBLE BILL MorrisonDance & Elu Dance Company<http://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2015-2016/week-1-morrisondance-and-without-words-movement/> MORRISONDANCE: HUManIMALS Chilean Flamingos dance in private, Capuchin Monkeys reject unequal pay, Peacock Spiders use "jazz hands," and that all too elusive animal group - humans - well, they have introspection. Animal behavior has often been studied to try to gain a greater understanding of humans, and in this collection of short dances, MorrisonDance creators will use introspection, humor and clever interpretations to explore some of the theories of animal (and human) behavior through the art of movement. ELU DANCE COMPANY: barefaced Inspired by C.S. Lewis' novel Till We Have Faces, this dance work follows two sisters, as they traverse the frontier of truth, trust and devotion. In collaboration with musical artists of Ancient Path, this retelling of the myth of Cupid and Psyche will transport its audience into a world unknown, laying bare the human condition.
