The mixed-repertoire Mainstage production features The Little Mermaid, Paquita and John Adams’ Shaker Loops
The University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music’s fall Mainstage Series comes to a stunning conclusion with THE ART OF MOTION, a concert of mixed repertoire presented by the Dance Department. Co-directed by Dance Department Chair Jiang Qi and Associate Professor of Dance Deirdre Carberry, the production runs from Thursday, Nov. 30, 2017, through Sunday, Dec. 3, 2017, in CCM’s Patricia Corbett Theater.
The program begins with featured work The Little Mermaid, which is choreographed by guest artist Adam Sage with music by Léo Delibes and Antonín Dvořák. This classic fairytale, written by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen, is about the lengths in which a young mermaid will go for love.
The concert also showcases Paquita with music by Ludwig Minkus, restaged by Deirdre Carberry to choreography by Marius Petipa. Set in Spain during the occupation by Napoleon’s army, the ballet follows the story of a young gypsy girl who saves the life of a French officer and falls in love with him.
The performance concludes with Shaker Loops by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer John Adams, featuring choreography by CCM Dance Professor André Megerdichian. CCM’s Café MoMus Ensemble performs the beloved work under the direction of CCM student Alexandria Black. Shaker Loops includes an illuminated collaboration with UC DAAP faculty member Henry Hildebrandt, the Associate Director of Undergraduate Programs in the School of Architecture and Interior Design.
