麻豆视频网站 Great Performance Series opens with Koresh Dance Company performing 鈥淢asquerade鈥� on Thursday and Friday, Sept. 18鈥�19, at 7:30 p.m. in the DeWitt Theatre at Hope College.
The Philadelphia Inquirer has said, 鈥淜oresh Dance Company鈥檚 鈥楳asquerade鈥� shines in the glorious talent of its guest artist Sage DeAgro-Ruopp.鈥�
This performance blends live dance with music, featuring soprano and composer Sage DeAgro-Ruopp with choreography by Roni Koresh, whose work represents his experience of both Israeli and American cultures. Born and raised in Israel, he received early dance training from his mother, a folk dancer in the Yemenite tradition. Avoiding terms such as ballet, modern, or folk, Koresh simply calls his work 鈥渄ance.鈥� Koresh has established a repertoire of over 60 works and develops two to three new works each year.
Koresh Dance Company has performed internationally in Spain, Turkey, Israel, South Korea, Mexico and Guatemala, and is committed to community engagement through programs like 鈥淜oresh Kids Dance鈥� and the 鈥淐ome Together Dance Festival,鈥� which supports emerging local artists. The company appeared previously in the Great Performance Series lineup in 2007.
