On November 26th we are treating you to an inside look at the development of our new work. It might be called Seascape or simply Scape.  The title will reveal itself.   We'll perform the beginning of the dance followed by a discussion of our creative process including audience questions and feedback.  I always enjoy these sessions which usually take place in a studio. However, I thought this would be a terrific opportunity to share the work in the beauty of Cary Hall which is perfectly suited for dance and music.

 Following the conversation, we are presenting select repertory favorites to give you a taste of the planned programing for our 25th Anniversary Season in July.  This performance will feature guest CLD Alumni artists Josh Palmer and Tara Marie Perri.  Josh, original cast member of Triptych, will perform the male duet from this piece with 10-year veteran CLD artist Justin Faircloth. Justin’s performances graced last season’s double bill at DiMenna. TaraMarie who danced in our inaugural season in 2000 will perform Veiled with current CLD artists. The repertory features original scores by long-time collaborator Scott Killian and more recent collaborator, Martin Bresnick.
