Where Dance & Music Meet

A coproduction with 1313 Music Association, Where Dance and Music Meet is the creative blossoming of a group of dedicated improvisers exploring the exhilarating space where two artistic forms intersect. Directed by Susanne Chui, this full-length evening is made up of short pieces created in collaboration with six of her fellow Creative Music Workshop faculty members. Exploring themes such as pulse, space, melody, vibration, and song, each form includes both composed and improvised elements, leaving space for spontaneous offerings that unfold in the moment.

Grounded in the work of teacher and mentor Jerry Granelli, the root of the work is in the life-art practice of listening and composing together. An expansive cast of 19 dancers and musicians carry on the practice of spontaneous composition, united by a shared goal: to dissolve the boundaries between movement and sound.
