We have TWO fabulous choreographers on this upcoming concert of “Dixit Dominus and Cantos” happening May 17-19, 2024! First up we have the Artistic Director + master mind behind everything the company does, Christal Wagner! Let’s hear a little more about her work below! ⬇️ ✨Grab your tickets to see Dixit today-seating is unique and limited. “Pairing modern dance with Aperi Animam's performance of Handel’s Dixit Dominus opens a door to romanticism in a new way. The rich baroque style of the music lends itself to contemporary modern dance in a grander fashion than the average dance concert. Within this production, a single character takes center stage, embarking on a poignant journey through the myriad facets of humanity. Each vignette unfolds like a tapestry of emotions — from the exultation of joy to the depths of despair and everything in between. It's a romantic ode to the essence of humanity, where the mundane routines of everyday life give way to the profound richness of human experience. In the highs and lows, in joy and pain, lies the heartbeat of existence, reminding us of the beauty inherent in our shared journey.Choreographer Christal Wagner uses modern dance stylings that give respectful attention to history’s most well known choreographers, Taylor, Limón, Graham, and Cunningham. Danceworks Performance MKE firmly infuses these classical modern techniques in this contemporary adaptation.”Ticket link: app.arts-people.com/index.php?ticketing=dwmke&mibextid=7G5ntw“Dixit Dominus and Cantos” May 17-19, 2024at Calvary Presbyterian Church935 W.
