Some of the dances MOMENTUM audiences will see:

“Walkabout” by Sarah Carlton: Resulting from her stay in Australia last year, this solo dance with film projection is based on Aboriginal dance and storytelling, expressing Australia’s awesome landscape and wildlife.

Tara Lihn’s fast-paced and comical dance expressing the child’s freedom and imagination in play.

Carly Boland’s energetic flashback to the Disco Diva 1970s.

“If Only You Knew” by Jennifer Updyke: a duet with projections, expressing everyday doubts combined with the trauma of obsessive-compulsion disorder, that afflicts many people at some point in their lives.

“Bloom” by Tricia Aaron: Inspired by the moment just before a flower blooms, transferred to the human movement of opening to something new, or simply growing.

“Passing By” by Brianna Powers and Crystal Stroud: a modern dance based on pedestrian movements, as meditations on noticing what otherwise just passes us by.
