October 22-24, 2009
Philadelphia, PA –Known for its bold athleticism, physical humor and breathtaking theatricality, BodyVox hits the City of Brotherly Love this fall with Water Bodies, a full-length Philadelphia premiere, as part of the Dance Celebration Series at the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, 3680 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA.
Conceived and choreographed by BodyVox Artistic Directors Jamey Hampton and Ashley Roland, former alums of MOMIX, Pilobolus and ISO, and Emmy Award-winners for performance in Los Angeles-based KCET television production Episodes, Water Bodies uses water as a metaphor, medium and trigger point as a harbinger of disaster and hope. Dance Magazine praises BodyVox’s Water Bodies as “sidesplittingly funny and magnificently danced.” This mixed media production features 12 dance sections and two dance- for-camera films, including the visually-stunning and hilarious Metamorfishes by award-winning filmmaker Mitchell Rose in collaboration with Roland.
Under the artistic direction of Randy Swartz, the Dance Celebration series, presented by Dance Affiliates and the Annenberg Center’s Penn Presents, maintains the tradition of bringing to Philadelphia the world’s best contemporary touring dance companies. This season’s The Magic of Movement pays tribute to American dance and showcases its diversity of styles, from tap to Broadway, jazz, contemporary, hip-hop, multimedia and dance theater.
