Currents and Crossings is a concert of modern dance by the School of Music, Theater, and Dance. The main piece in this performance is going to be Brisk Singing (1997), a lyrical and energetic dance set to excerpts of the opera Les Boréades by Jean-Philippe Rameau. The choreographer for Brisk Singing, Richard Alston, is acclaimed for his ability to respond to musical materials and to explore pure dance aesthetic. Other pieces in this concert are choreographed by the professors here at Michigan, and feature various aspects of nature — such as the African tradition of bottle trees and the elemental forces of wind. There are four chances to watch this performance this weekend. Even better, Currents and Crossings is on the Passport to the Arts so you can watch it for free! Don’t miss out!
