Season 19
Unstoppable


 


 

Hello Davis Dance Friends and Family,

 

Are you ready for the new adventure that Davis Dance is about to embark on? Well if you aren’t, hold tight because it is going to be a ride to remember! Season 19 - Unstoppable is here and we are not slowing down. Despite some setbacks and navigating the uncertainty in the non-profit sector, Davis Dance is curating a season that everyone in Denver and  beyond needs to see. Either live in the theatre or on one of our live-streamed concerts. Davis Dance can’t be stopped!

 

Our season opens at our home, the Eliane Wolf Theatre, with a program that will touch your heart, full of passion, and have you on the edge of your seat all at the same time. Returning to the stage will be a heartfelt piece “Sicut in Caelo et in Terra” by former Principal Dancer/Rehearsal Director, and now Company Manager Aubrey Klinger Fearns. This piece premiered in 2017 and back again to pull you into the season and keep you with us. Our Emerging Choreographer: Creating the Next this season will be Martez Mckinzy. His Davis Dance premiere of “Sands” will showcase the technical versatility of the company and have you on the edge of your seat because of its power and grounded energy. My piece “Hearts off Rhythm” which premiered in 2008 and is now a company classic returns to the stage. This piece is about relationships and the twist and turns they can take. I’m excited to bring this piece back to the Davis Dance stage. Closing the concert will be our Resident Choreographer Rachael Harding’s sexy and red-hot piece “Memoir Sketches.” This piece highlights the Jazz Dance roots of the company and is always a Davis Dance fan favorite.

 

Davis Dance will return for our annual "Davis Dance at the Fox!" We love performing at the Aurora Fox Arts Centers for the community of Aurora. This collaborative concert with the company, our pre-professional dance company Davis Dance Next Generation, and the Aurora Dance Arts Directed by Maggie Chapman is always a joy. The program will have highlights from the season from all three companies.

 

Our annual “A Summer Night of Dance” will be a concert for the Davis Dance history book. It opens with an encore performance of Martez Mckinzy “Sands.” Friend to Davis Dance and featured choreographer Chloé-Grant Abel will premiere a new work for the company. This will be her second piece added to the Davis Dance repertoire and we can’t wait to have her back in the studio. Back to the Davis Dance stage will be my work “Interloop” which premiered in 2020. This contemporary Ballet duet is about the bond of two people who have loved each other through all of life’s ups and downs. I’m excited to bring this piece back. Closing the concert will be my work "Kinetic: Increase the Pressure.” A piece that takes you on a journey full of power, constant energy, and a release at the end that will make you exhale as the piece keeps going beyond the blackout. 

 

Davis Dance is a company on a mission to keep concert dance alive and thriving in Denver. We had triumphs and setbacks, but we’ve never wavered from our vision. Davis Dance has its eyes set on its 20th anniversary season. We cannot be stopped!

 

Wow, what a season! Hope you can see you in the theatre and at one of our many fundraising events this season. Davis Dance is UNSTOPPABLE and will always deliver “Dance That Feeds Your Soul.” Let’s Dance!
