ODC/Dance's Summer Sampler, July 31-Aug. 2, is part of ODC Theater’s Music Moves Festival, which celebrates the relationship between music and dance.
The series begins with a benefit performance for ODC collaborator cellist Zoë Keating, whose husband was recently diagnosed with metastatic cancer. The company performs Breathing Underwater, the 2012 collaboration between founding artistic director Brenda Way and Keating, in addition to Lifesaving Maneuvers, Way’s work set on an original score by Jay Cloidt.
Magik*Magik Orchestra’s Erin Wang joins ODC in this one night only performance to support the benefit. All proceeds go to Keating’s family.
In addition to Breathing Underwater and Lifesaving Maneuvers, the program on August 1-2 features Scramble, the 2007 work by KT Nelson set to Bach’s Cello Suite No. 6 D major, recorded by Yo-Yo Ma.
The choreographers and artists will be on hand after the performances for talkback sessions with the audience.
