Emerging Choreographers Angela Sigley, Jessica C. Warchal-King, and Laura Zimmerman question the role (and lack) of morality and ethics in our society in a joint modern dance concert. Each performance will include all three dance works. Angela Sigley presents The Rented World, an exploration of fear and morbid curiosity. The movement is chilling and unsettling, but sparks of beauty flash out from beneath the harsh exterior of violence and death, images cultivated from horror films. The Rented World broadcasts our attraction to the things that disturb us, the things we do not understand, and the things that scare us. microcosmic current, presented by Jessica C. Warchal-King, is a physical investigation of the felt experiences of emotional violence. Grounded in research of mind-body centering practices and philosophies, Warchal-King explores the sacredness of the human form and the power of embodied experiences to translate empathy and compassion where words alone fail. In microcosmic current, she is joined by musician/ composer Christopher Farrell.
