This 2013 work is by company founder Brenda Way, Co-Artistic Director KT Nelson, and New York choreographer Kate Weare (raised in San Francisco before founding the Kate Weare Company). Triangulating Euclid was inspired by Euclid's Elements, one of the most influential works in the history of mathematics.
The New York and San Francisco premieres earlier this year were hailed as "beautifully enigmatic" in The Huffington Post and as "an exuberant celebration of the way dancers inscribe themselves into space" in The S.F. Bay Guardian).
ODC partners with Weare again with the performance of her The Light Has Not the Arms to Carry Us, a trio that premiered at New York City Center’s Fall for Dance Festival. According to the announcement, it is an abstract exploration into primitive states, the work delves into abasement, wariness, sensuality, and tenderness.
The world premiere is Two If by Sea, by Associate Choreographer Kimi Okada. It is described as: "From the tug of an ear or the lift of an eyebrow to the warning drum that speaks across an African plain, we all have our codes. This rhythmic, physical duet unveils the power of hidden signals in our lives."
