First Friday Dancing In Tune at VIAread all about below
Dancing in Tune
Bringing together brilliant color, passionate sound and textural, costumed dancers, Dancing in Tune explores relationships of the senses. Part of First Friday Gallery Cruise, Westphal Color & Texture, musican Ike Harmon will be joined by dancers Margo Ginger, Karen Nelson, Luke Parkhurst, Rosemary Carroll, Karen Daly & Carmen Udias Calvos at VIA gallery.
This performance event will range from 6:30-8:30 and will highlight Ike Harmon’s world-class sound as found in his newest CD “These Mansions Made of Sky” a high-concept and sweeping work full of passionate and articulate intensity. Ike holds music as the highest possible expression of truth, beauty and harmony and feels blessed to be able to pursue his musical vision with unremitting passion and complete freedom.
The music and visual art will converge with movement artists whose art is known to break boundaries and expectations. Based in improvisation and following a collaborative process with practices that cross pollinate artistic genres (dance, music, theater, poetry, visual arts…) the dancers will explore space, sensation, composition, emotional and physical responses as well as the themes of “color and texture”.
Margo Ginger’s training in ballet, gymnastics and tap, eventually incorporating modern, contemporary, choreography and improvisational performance and contact improvisation as well as consistently returning to yoga, contemplative dance practice, and a wide range of somatic movement and bodywork practices inform her work.
Karen Nelson is a dance artist living on Vashon who performs, teaches and shares her work currently through Dance Sensoria a 2018 mini-school held partially on Vashon. Karen and Margo Ginger have collaborated in various projects including “Passage” a 1998 dance improvisation performance at the Blue Heron crafted using tuning scores to inform the dancing.
Luke Parkhurst is a contact improviser from Pinole, Ca. He is learning to listen with his whole body and enjoy's contact's playful and occasionally rebellious spirit.
Rosemary Carroll based in Seattle, began dancing with Miss Joan Patti in Rhode Island and the Providence Plantations, and has never stopped moving since.
Karen Daly, author of the memoir Joy Ride, lives in Eugene where she cares for her Mom in between dancing tours. Karen Daly was a long-time participant of Diverse Dance Research Retreat held on Vashon during the 1990’s.
Carmen Udias Calvos is an improviser and curious traveler advocating for movement as a vehicle for social change. Born and raised in Spain, she recently moved to California and is living on a permaculture farm in the North Californian wilderness.
All the performers will work with tuning into the moment, exploring textures in sound, visual art and physical movement— from sparse to active; from brlght color to neutrality; from smooth to rough; from transitions to arriving. Live art brings new dimensions to the gallery at VIA on First Friday.
