BMC Performing Arts Series presents.. The Australian dance troupe Lucy Guerin Inc. is much in demand on the international Festival circuit for its innovative choreographic concepts and exceptionally fine dancers. “Corridor” takes place on a long, narrow strip of space, and explores how movement is generated from language - initally Kafka’s The Castle. Dancers respond to ordinary and extraordinary commands transmitted via MP3 players, written instructions, cellphones.

BMC Performing Arts Series presents... Resistance, memory, and love—three potent words—drive Les écailles de la mémoire (The scales of memory), a penetrating movement treatise exploring the convergence of African and US history. Bryn Mawr is honored to present the women’s section from this collaboration between Germaine Acogny, a legend in her native Senegal, and Jawole Wila Jo Zollar’s all-female, Brooklyn-based Urban Bush Women. In addition, Acogny will dance her new solo “Songook Yakaar” and Kaolack, her star male dancer, will present “J’Accuse” which took first prize at the 2008 Danse Afrique Danse Concours. [These performers remind us to honor the past and celebrate the present and future, giving us dance at its most urgent, evocative, and unforgettable.] "Urban Bush Women are committed, triple-threat performers who dance, sing, and act with a sometimes searing sense of truthfulness."—The New York Times ["… light-footed grace as well as a driving muscular power..."—The Washington Post] |
