Lincolnshire Posy: UMD Wind Ensemble - November 2017
Lincolnshire Posy, the iconoclast composer Percy Grainger's seminal work for winds, is a suite of what the composer termed "musical wildflowers," his own unorthodox arrangement of folk tunes collected from rural English singers. Later, Jules Strens' Danse Funambulesque gives a musical depiction of the death-defying feats of a high-wire artist.
Program:
Augusta Read Thomas: magneticfireflies

NextLOOK: alight dance theater: Faerie
alight dance theater will create a fantastical and mythical dance work exploring the under-considered culture and belief in fairy lore. Faerie – referencing the world in which fairies inhabit – will examine the prevalence of fairies, their connection with humans and common misconceptions of both types of creatures. In a realm of “in-between,” existing alongside our version of reality, fairies and humans encounter one another.
NextLOOK: Orange Grove Dance April 2018
An expansion of Orange Grove Dance’s 16-17 NextLOOK residency, part two of the 1 Mile Radius Project allows for deeper exploration of the unique spaces within a one-mile radius of Joe's Movement Emporium in Mount Rainier, MD. Through dance, film and projections, it will investigate the personal and uniquely traversed spaces of the community, zooming into and magnifying the intimate nooks and crevices of seemingly familiar areas.
NextLOOK: Alexandra Kelly Colburn
termiNATION is an in-process movement-based solo work investigating life and death through the lens of a pregnant war widow. Inspired by an adolescence and early adulthood steeped in the events of post-9/11 and the recent inauguration of Donald Trump, this piece explores the role women have to play as we carry this new era of politics to term.
NextLOOK: Dior Ashley Brown & the dAb Band
Through song, poetry, spoken word, hip-hop, theater and live instrumentation, Dior Ashley Brown and The dAb Band create a tribute to women past and present. This project will explore women's struggles and their contribution to creative change.
