EX/BODY: wake, dam steel
Michael D. Eisner Center for the Performing Arts
240 W. Broadway, Granville OH 43023

This event is free. Tickets can be reserved here:

EX/BODY: wake, dam steel is critically-acclaimed Chicago choreographer (and Denison Dance alumna) Molly Shanahan’s current dance project, presented in the Martin Theatre in the Michael D. Eisner Center for the Performing Arts November 8-9, 2019. The 50-minute work for five dancers is created from the artists’ exploration of transformative movement potential hidden within the subtle sensations born of trauma. Rather than presenting a narrative depiction or representation of trauma, the dancers give their attention to movement buried in stuck places in the body. Their quest is a work that invites transformation through the incorporation of discarded identities, the healing power of grief, and a virtuosity of compassion in performance.

Shanahan’s company Molly Shanahan/Mad Shak is marking their 25th year of creating work through a “process-oriented approach to movement art has influenced a passel of young dancers in Chicago. Discarding the rules of modern dance, Shanahan puts movement under the microscope, cultivating gorgeous organic phrases by observing motion at the atomic level.” (New City Stage)

Cleveland – November 09, 2019, 7:30 pm

Playhouse Square – Ohio Theatre, Cleveland

Founded in 2002 by Victor Quijada, RUBBERBANDance Group (RBDG) is recognized worldwide for its innovation, its significant contribution in dance, and for its role in the development of a new style inspired by breakdancing, classical ballet, and dance theatre. A one-of-a-kind troupe, RBDG deconstructs the principles of urban dance and mixes style to create their own unique spin. The November performance of Vic’s Mix at Playhouse Square will mark the company’s Ohio debut and give audience members the chance to experience this highly acclaimed company’s greatest works. With both humorous and serious moments, Vic’s Mix is a kind of “best of” spanning the immense creative territory explored by Quijada, extracting jewels from the choreographer’s repertoire. Since their beginning, the company’s work quickly won over audiences and critics: in its first end-of-season review, the Montreal daily Le Devoir included the company in its pick of the five best dance productions of the year and has since gone on to perform all over the world to rave reviews.
