The Philadelphia Dance Projects Presents 2010 series takes a look back and a look ahead, pairing the next wave of contemporary dance artists with influential choreographers from the 1970s and 80s Philadelphia dance scene. Local Dance History Project features Jano Cohen and Terry Fox. Fox reconstructs Stolen Poem, a solo performed by Alie Vidich. Jano Cohen presents two works, including Wonder of Living Things, a solo performed by Megan Mazarick (also seen in the SCUBA program), with narration by Jeremy Nowak. Danced to the pure sound of ocean waves, Cohen’s Snow Falling on Waves features Navila Acosta, Theresa Cermanski, Megan Mazarick, Heather Murphy, Jodi Obied, Gabrielle Revlock, and Alie Vidich. Chris Yon takes the stage for Next Up with his piece "The Very Unlikeliness (I’m Going to KILL You!)" In this duet, choreographer Chris Yon and dancer Taryn Griggs imagine and execute speculative systems with tendencies towards a schematic simultaneism, performing contrary actions alongside one another. The two will maul, mangle and make mincemeat out of these unglamorous actions. They will not tremble, drawing the threads of notions, the interlacing of opposites, zigzagging through a treacherous mixture of dream and deed. They will not be sentimental. (They will be very sentimental.)
