This fall Visionary Dance Theatre celebrates our Fifth Anniversary Season with a special performance featuring the choreography of internationally acclaimed choreographer, Jeanne Travers. The concert will be held at the Performing Arts Center at Point Loma High School (2335 Chatsworth Blvd, San Diego, CA 92106) on August 1st-2nd, 2014 at 8pm.
Jeanne Travers has been involved in collaboration, interdisciplinary and multicultural choreographic projects that have spanned the globe. Her choreography has been presented nationally and internationally in Bolivia, China, Ecuador, France, Italy, Scotland and Tunisia. In addition, Jeanne Travers has been on faculty at the University of South Florida (Tampa, FL) for the past 18 years and has been the recipient of numerous grants and awards including funding through the American Embassy and the Minister of Culture in Tunisia, sponsorship from the Mayor of Paris for her Visions of Peace project and funding through Beijing Normal University in China. She is an esteemed Master Teacher and has been a Choreographer in Residence for several universities, colleges and companies throughout the United States.
For Travelogue, Jeanne Travers will be bringing USF alumni together with Visionary dancers in a diversified evening of dance. Presenting pieces from her vast repertory, Travers' choreography is highly physical and energetic yet deeply rooted in the kinetics and technicality of modern dance.
"Falling" featuring University of South Florida alumni, Amanda Cox and Dazaun Soleyn, explores the interplay between a couple trying to give voice to their relationship set to Pergolesi's Stabat Mater.
Closing out the show will be "Tunisian Nights" featuring VDT dancers Trixi Anne Agiao, Ramon Montes, Marty Anthony Dorado, Caitlin Rose Franco, Melissa Lenz and Drew Ornelas. Inspired by Dizzy Gillespie's A Night in Tunisia, this up-beat and dynamic group piece is an energetic finale for the show.
