Post-show discussion with Artistic Director and company members following the Friday Performances
The company is composed of 15 dancers and will perform two programs featuring works from te company’s extensive and diverse repertoire. Including: Consumed, an intense and frenetic work by NYC based choreographer Kate Skarpetowska, which explores the globalization of humanity set to a cacophony of music and sound. Kiki Lucas’s resonant dance work, Semi-Detached, is a powerful and athletic piece which touches on the human need for different elements of control. Renowned jazz choreographer Pattie Obey has set two works on the company, Passade, a sultry trio and Zoom, a full-throttle work that embraces its title. Choreographer Jason McDole’s work, Conscious, and other dynamic pieces will showcase the versatility, technical prowess, and passion of Houston Metropolitan Dance Company.
