MODERN MIX
Mutual Dance Theatre
June 2-3
Aronoff Center Jarson-Kaplan Theatre [Downtown]
Mutual Dance Theatre continues its second year of MODERN MIX, a new annual tradition of showcasing daring collections of work by a mix of choreographers.
PETRICHOR BY STEVEN P. EVANS
“Petrichor” was inspired by border conflicts and the meaning of the term. Petrichor is the term for the phenomenon of the distinctive, earthy, usually pleasant smell after rainfall, particularly following a dry, arid period. In “Petrichor,” rain is coming for a group of travelers who thirst and clamor for rest.
CLIMB BY ELENA RODRIGUEZ MOORE
Climb is based on the choreographer’s experiences growing up as the bi-racial daughter of a Colombian immigrant. This captivating work features dare devil work with ladders, symbolizing the arduous work to rebuild oneself in a new culture. The creation of Climb was one of the only Modern Dance originals to be funded in Cincinnati by the National Endowment for the Arts in 2018.+
