Schimmel Center 17-18 season opening night! Come for an evening of five uplifting New York premieres that celebrate the human spirit’s abilities to survive, re-group, reform, and remain. Straight from Durham, North Carolina, home of the venerable American Dance Festival, this energetic company was founded by former Pilobolus Dance Theater member, Gaspard Louis. His choreography marries playful physicality with lyrical, athletic partnering resulting in works of haunting beauty and emotional force. “His work exhibits his own quality of movement that seems effortless even when it requires great strength, and control. His works also embody emotion that touches the core of our humanity.” – Susan Broili, The Herald Sun
