This second weekend features new works by Ohio dance artists from Columbus, Cincinnati and Cleveland and boasts an eclectic palette of performances. Anupa Mirle, travels in from Cincinnati for a Thursday night performance of Ode to Woman-Shakti, revealing a view of a woman’s reality in a thought-provoking and powerful work with threads of classical and contemporary Indian dance. Cleveland-based Siren Dance Company under the direction of Stephanie Iervoline joins the Columbus brigade on Friday night only, presenting excerpts of their newest evening-length work, Elephant, that explores the ways in which people ignore the obvious problems in their lives, coupled with another of Iervoline’s dances for eight, Man’s World. Each evening promises an invigorating experience with Sarah Mitchell whose contemporary choreography provides an interesting look at the constant push/pull in a faltering relationship, with performance by Emily Balf and Ben Wheless. Jaideep Saran, a newbie to the Columbus dance scene, offers a delectable blend of modern dance and hip-hop stylings. Summer Series producer, Amiti Perry , in collaboration with composer David Morneau and his animated distortions, presents her newest work, A/break:1, an energized concoction of angles, shifts and fierce diversions. This trio, featuring Perry, Ali Simon and Amy Campbell, will be further developed and premiered in NYC in October 2006. Anna Sullivan stimulates and surprises audiences with her segmented choreography and stunning ward of psycho-doll dancers. Sullivan gives a sneak peak to her newest multi-media work, Anna and The Annadriods: The Robots Dream Tour scheduled to premiere at the New York Fringe Festival in August.
