Description of Dance

"A Common Thread" 

Choreography by Yelena Konetchy

Music composed by Nate Laningham

My goal in this work is to embrace individuality and communion within human kind.

Choreography is inspired by Loie Fuller's use of silk sheets in contemporary movement.
 

The dancers are held together by a common idea, a thread of sorts.That idea is up to the viewer's interpretation. That idea may represent family, work, friendship, hate, love. Each dancer is connected to this idea via the silks, which symbolize a common thread between them, until one dancer begins to realize the value of her/his own individuality. That dancer pulls out of the group and parts from the silks. Soon the other dancers realize their value. Before long they find they share a stronger bond. That bond is the recognition of each dancer's unique personality and independence. Their personalities are shared between one another and are accepted as the true bond of humankind.

Guest Choreographer Lorn MacDougal and the most radical musician( composer) Alain Le Razer are in the Mix with 

ALL Things Animate                                           

All Things Animate is the fruit of a long collaboration between Lorn MacDougal, a critically acclaimed dancer/choreographer, and Alain Le Razer, audio-visual artist and award winning filmmaker, who performs on wireless electric guitar allowing him a movement role within 4 Figures Go Round the Bend.  The high-energy quartet is appreciated for its celebration of a dialogue with music made to drive movement, performed by highly trained contemporary dancers.      www.allthingsanimate.com

The Theremin is an electronic instrument invented by Léon Theremin, a Russian who patented it in the United States after a decade of performing its eerie sound before packed houses in Europe. It is played by moving the air around its antenna. Player Alain Le Razer animates the air and airwaves to Lorn MacDougal’s athletic and technical choreography for Janna Rock.
