As part of its “Backstage Pass” performances, the audience will be treated to an interactive afternoon with Carolyn and the dancers while experiencing several of CDDC’s well known works to include:
KEYSTONE — Set to classic songs by Rufus Wainwright, Louis Armstrong, and Jamie Randolph, Keystone is a duet that explores the endurance of relationships and the concept of staying power in a world that continues to embrace fast digital communication that is not aligned with the human pulse or true intimacy.
CERCLE D’AMOUR — Cercle d’Amour opens a dialogue on love that invites audiences to think, laugh, and enjoy and explores the visual and movement metaphors evoked by a resonant and versatile prop — brilliant red hula-hoops. Featuring music by Andy Tierstein, this ensemble work illuminates various aspects of relationships including play, competition, and fantasy.
NARCOLEPTIC LOVERS — Narcoleptic Lovers was originally choreographed in 1995 by the talented and witty Doug Elkins, who described it as a series of letters to former lovers. Using his signature eclectic movement vocabulary, the work draws on modern, hip-hop, ballet and martial arts with an equally broad range of music—Mozart, hip-hop by Urban Species and spoken word samples of Lenny Bruce.
This will be a narrated performance by Ms. Dorfman, and the audience will have the opportunity to engage with the dancers as well.
