current LEVECHE choreography: Marsha Barsky performance: Mary Arwen, Megan Harrold, Nikki McFadden, Mary Catherine Musick, Gabrielle Saliba, Ashley Sholtes, Sarah Tumbrink Neuhoff Complex - Friday, April 30 7:30 p.m. Leveche is a wind that blows up from the Sahara and Arabian deserts and into the Mediterranean. It’s sweltering, -- warm and dry, -- stirring up dust, and then bringing in humidity, mist, and the rejuvenating heat of late nights in the middle of summer. Likewise the dance is sultry and mysterious, unpredictable, because the dancers have integrated the movement of the upper climes into their bodies in their own ways, swaying, grasping, supporting their weight upon the vicissitudes of shifting atmospheres. Leveche rejuvenates and invigorates, carrying the dust of previous incarnations, now turned and turning to unrecognizable form. This dust, once settled, brings clear skies, newfound clarity, peace, resolution, as we are left, awaiting the next wind. Leveche is a meditation on the nature of change and the possibilities, perspectives and attitudes that are awakened as the atmosphere shifts. Ultimately, it’s about the choreographic process, as well, wherein style becomes a habit rather than an innovation. Leveche blows in a new aesthetic, unfamiliar, that stirs up the residues of the dust that still remains, and makes way for contemplation upon, and within, the impending storm. past A PLACE A PART.
