Speaking of SomeBody

September 14 @ 8pm, September 15 @ 2pm.

Did you hear about Pink Hair Affair's debut performances? Lauren Mathis, Rachel Slater, Christine Steigerwald and Anne MacGillivray Wilson present a night overflowing with athletic, enthralling explorations of subjects everyBody has experienced like nightmares, gender identity, race, shadow, flying in dreamland and the feeling of water like velvet on your skin...when you skinny dip on a late summer night under the moon.

Christine will delve into the human unconscious, exploring dreams, with multimedia by Drew Uthman. The halting rhythms of a madman at the piano ignites a fiery passion in Anne’s unlikely duet. Lauren will eloquently dive into a world of minimalism, her movements derived from yogic tradition and serenity. Rachel will expose the bizarre realm of nightmares, exploring the images the run rampant behind our closed eyes as we slumber.

Mind Fall

September 13, 15 @ 8pm.

Christina Gesualdi, Laura Jenkins, Jackie Koch, and Ashley Wood will launch a collection of breathtaking and jawdropping short dance works on the Fringe. {The pieces stem from a shared exploration of what happens when an idea pops into a choreographer's head like a cartoon thought bubble, or resounds in her brain like a shrieking ambulance siren, or drips into her consciousnuess like water from a leaky faucet.}

Playfullness and good times will surely ensue with Jackie's trio of girls dancing in barrels (literally!). Laura will present an athletic trio based around a triangular prop created by designer Derik Spence. Ashley's conceptual duet will be a reflection of the ideas of time travel and alternate universes. Christina's trio will patiently focus the eye on the beauty and sensitivity behind the articulation of each dancer's moving body.

Don't Throw That Away!!

Anne MacGillivray Wilson grew up in Pittsburgh, where she first started chasing the ballerina dream at the age of nine, studying at Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre and Point Park College. During her time at the Pennsylvania Governors School for the Arts in 2001, she converted to chasing the modern dream. Her quest to become a prima modernina led her first to Arizona State University in 2003 where she studied with folks such as Karen Schupp, Cynthia Roses-Thema, Brad Garner and Daniel Nagrin. Fearing the Arizona sun might make her too tan, she left for more familiar climates in Philadelphia. She graduated in with honors from University of the Arts with a BFA in Modern Dance Performance with an Emphasis in Choreography in 2007. She has attended Point Park University summer programs, Pro Danza Italia, and the American Dance Festival, where she studied with David Dorfman, Karinne Keithley, Paul Matteson, and Jillian Pena. In Spring 2007 she presented work in The Lush Project: Spring Season 2007. She is currently rehearsing with Malleable Dance Theater in New York, and is an intern at Philly�s Headlong Dance Theater. She will also soon be a published author, with her short story, �Hoagie: A Love Story� in the upcoming Philly Fiction 2.

Jacklyn Koch stems from the mountains of Martinsburg, WV. At a young age she spent her summers in Panama where she became enchanted by salsa and merengue dancing. This inspired her to take classes at her local dance school where she discovered a love for modern dance and performed at the West Virginia Dance Festival. In May 2007 she will graduate from University of the Arts with a BFA in modern dance. Last summer she danced and learned repertory at the Merce Cunningham Studio in New York City. One day she hopes to live in Panama and help the development of modern dance there.
