Mar 3 & 4 at 8 pm
Drifter is a full evening dance consisting of four sections exploring both the hope and the demise of the 1960s. It investigates the ideology of the hippie generation and the increasing generation gap that signaled a divisive decade where feminism, civil rights, and social norms were challenged. Drifter navigates the decade including JFK's assassination, the war in Vietnam, and Charles Manson.
Choreographed by Keith Johnson/Dancers and danced by Haihua Chiang, Bahareh Ebrahimzadeh, Rogelio Lopez, Paul Matteson, Tara McArthur, Andrew Merrell, Courtney Ozovek, and Andrew W. Palomares. Keith Johnson performed in the companies of Ririe/Woodbury, Creach/Koester, Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, and Doug Varone and Dancers. He graduated from the University of Utah with his MFA in Choreography and was named the Distinguished Alumni from The Department of Dance in 2012/13. He is currently on faculty at California State University Long Beach.
Drifter runs for approximately 60 minutes with no intermission. The Annex requires audiences to be masked while indoors.
