Music & Motion Dance will be providing a free sneak preview of their new dance work – the 9 muses set to premiere at the 2009 Live Arts & Philly Fringe Festival. The performance will take place along the banks of the Schuylkill at The Back Deck at Lloyd Hall, #1 Boathouse Row, Kelly & Waterworks Drive at 1:00 pm on Sunday, July 26th, weather permitting.

For the creation of the 9 muses, each of the company’s members of this pre-professional, youth based group, were asked to create choreography, both as individuals and as a group, based on what personally inspires them.

The concept was developed as a result of this group’s history of performing at outdoor sculpture parks, public gardens and museums. A significant influence for the entire cast was the sculpture, the 9 muses, by artist Carlos Dorrien installed at the Grounds for Sculpture in Hamilton, New Jersey, where they have performed for the past five years.

All totaled, a series of eighteen new dance pieces will be presented. According to dancer, Andrea Piovane, “muses have the potential to inspire, motivate, uplift, create solace, fill us with joy and allow us to reveal ourselves in new and undiscovered ways. What they ultimately do is allow us to create and in our case - to dance!”

In ancient Greece, the nine muses ruled over the arts and sciences and offered inspiration in those subjects. But for dancers it is a sacred space, where you can find yourself again and again. A place where one can retreat, nourish the muse and ultimately find oneself. It is a playground that has the power to transport us and help us to resuscitate our imagination. Company member Stacey Folks adds “There is no better setting then along the Schuylkill River, with the Art Museum, the Fairmount Water Works and Boat House Row to come share in our muses and take a flight of your own imagination.”

Founded in 2000, under the artistic direction of Steven Weisz, Music & Motion is a fresh, innovative, performance-oriented, pre-professional, dance company. Rather than relying on a single dance style or technique, Music & Motion has developed its own unique movement for each new dance work created. The variety of eclectic styles incorporated into its programs include ballet, jazz, tap, lyrical, modern, funk, hip hop and acrobatic styles.

Music & Motion's mission is to empower youth through dance, movement and the performing arts, ultimately building self-esteem and inspiring creative self-expression and community action and interaction.

Music & Motion Dance has performed throughout the tri-state area and even internationally to a range of audiences in its short yet diverse history. With a deep commitment to group collaboration and exposing new audiences to dance and the performing arts, the company has won both critical acclaim as well as many new fans.

Philadelphia based Music & Motion Dance has been chosen to perform at Pennsylvania Arts in Education Day at the State Capitol Building in Harrisburg on April 1, 2009. The day celebrates the outstanding artistic achievements made by students and teachers in Pennsylvania schools.

2009 Arts in Education Day at the State Capitol is sponsored by Pennsylvania Speaker of the House Keith R. McCall; the Pennsylvania Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance; the Pennsylvania Art Education Association; the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts/Arts in Education (AIE) Partnership; the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts; the Pennsylvania Department of Education; the Pennsylvania Department of General Services; the Pennsylvania Governor’s School for the Arts, and the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association.

Music & Motion Dance will be presenting excerpts from their upcoming premiere of the 9 muses. This new dance work examines the concept of inspiration and is based on ancient Greek mythology, in which there were nine muses who ruled over the arts and sciences. Artistic Director, Steven Weisz goes on to add, “For dancers it is a sacred space, where you can find yourself again and again. A place where one can retreat, nourish the muse and ultimately find oneself. It is a playground that has the power to transport us and help us to resuscitate our imagination. Muses have the potential to inspire, motivate, uplift, create solace, fill us with joy and allow us to reveal ourselves in new and undiscovered ways. What they ultimately do is allow us to create.” To that end, each dancer in Music & Motion has sought their own muse in creating and choreographing the works to be presented. These vignettes offer a brief insight in to a range of feelings and emotions which drive the movement on stage and offer a glimpse of each dancer’s own muse.

Founded in 2000, Music & Motion is a fresh, innovative, performance-oriented, youth dance company. Rather than relying on a single dance style or technique, Music & Motion has developed its own unique movement for each new dance work created. The variety of eclectic styles incorporated into its’ programs include ballet, jazz, tap, lyrical, modern, funk, hip hop and acrobatic styles.

Despite current economic conditions malls and retailers are facing this season, Oxford Valley Mall, Montgomery Mall, Lehigh Valley Mall and Quaker Bridge Mall have remained committed to the communities they serve and to area teens. Each of the respective malls is now seeking candidates for their 2009 Teen Board program.

Teen Board Programs were first started by Steven Weisz of Rainbow Promotions in East Coast regional malls back in 1990. This youth oriented, volunteer program, now in its nineteenth year, provides an opportunity for young men and women between the ages of thirteen to eighteen years, to represent and work with their local malls to produce fashion shows, create special events and participate in community service projects.

The educational component of this program offers teen members the opportunity to participated in lectures, workshops and activities dealing with the various aspects of the fashion and retail industry -- modeling, retail operations, fashion design, marketing and public relations.

Community service remains a core component of this program. The Teen Boards are committed to helping others with in their own community. Through out the year, members become involved with a number of charitable organizations in an effort to show that teens can make a difference. Campaigns on the mall have included food and clothing drives for those in need, as well as working with such organizations as the American Heart Association, Salvation Army and Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

The programs have been a huge success. For the teen members in the program, it has offered them a voice in their communities, a way to contribute their energies in a positive manner, a better understanding and respect of each others diverse backgrounds, and a way to increase their own sense of self-worth and self-esteem through the positive impact they have on their own community.

Applications for the 2009 programs are now available on each of their respective web sites:

The Program is conducted at each of the malls in conjunction with their Marketing Department and runs for a full year. Students will be required to make a time commitment of about 4-6 hours each month for attending Teen Board meetings and programs. Participants will help produce and model in the malls fashion shows; attend seminars on various topics relating to the fashion and retail industry; help organize and run mall special events and charity fund raisers; learn basic techniques in modeling, make-up and fashion coordination; and learn techniques in presenting oneself and working with the public.

A compete line up of dance companies and performance times can be found on line at www.PhillyDanceFest.com as well as below…

At 1:30PM (two companies presenting)

REACT/Dance
Imaginary Ordinary
Imaginary Ordinary is a work set on five dancers. Originally shown as a works-in-progress at the In Flux Performance Series, this piece was chosen for completion and invited for performance in the final In Flux Performance Series in May 2007. Moderator Curt Haworth, describes Imaginary Ordinary as “an old time debutante party gone wild. It was a wonderful mix of worlds that took us on a fun, obsessive and passionate theatrical ride." In this evening length premier, react/dance will delve into the back-story of the unique characters and will uncover the events leading up to climactic finish.

Danse4Nia Repertory Ensemble
Wanting To Make A Social Change
Danse4Nia Repertory Ensemble uses the power of dance and spoken word to explore our communities social ills that plague us today. All the while celebrating the positive solutions that can come from making a social change. This show high lights the famed phrase, "it starts with you, it starts with me!"

At 3:00PM (two companies presenting)

Anne-Marie Mulgrew and Dancers Co
Dances for Everyday Objects
Float, Crash and Fall
Created for six dancers and six huge inflated balls, this dance examines the interplay between an object and a person. Dancers roll, float, crash, collide, caress, squeeze, toss and interact with the props creating powerful images that reflect basic human desires. The balls are a movable set that at times are connected to the dancers’ bodies creating a sense of space where time is suspended, allowing for multiple interpretations i.e. planetary, nature and fantasy worlds. As choreographer, I became fascinated by the colors, shapes, textures and qualities of the object and how they informed the movement vocabulary and transported me to other imaginative places.

John Luna & Kinetic Outlaws
Living Room
Four people, a television, and a sofa. The inescapable consequence of waiting.

At 4:30 pm (three companies presenting)

ROOTEDancEnsemble
Anomoly of the Heart
Anomaly of the Heart is a repeated duet combining care and frustration creating subtle dysfunction. Accompanied by the soft, yet striking music of Arvo Part, three duets take you on a journey of discovery, sorrow, contemplation, and reality. Through repeating ideas and switching character roles Anomaly progresses by revealing three different honest, beautiful looks at relationships that are both sincere, yet innately flawed.

Alchemy Dance Company
Preconceived Motions
As we move through life, we all develop beliefs, ideas, and experiences which we draw upon to form our opinions, make decisions, and handle situations. Often, without realizing it, we jump to conclusions based on these preconceived thoughts and fail to see clearly, fail to remain open, fail to try new things thus closing ourselves off from one another and the world around us. Preconceived Motions brings to light the judgments we make based on appearance, sound, and movement and looks at where these “motions” come from and whether we will let them continue to rule us. Alchemy teams up with b-boys of Philly’s Illadelph Phlave for an exciting combination of ballet, modern, and breakin’ techniques in a performance that promises to captivate, entertain, and inspire.

Vada Dance Collective
Nightgardening
Vada's Nightgardening blends abstracted images, emotions and sensations capturing the connection that exists between us and the night. The fervent pictures we create and cultivate in and out of our dreams and the fine line between, and the discoveries they burgeon into inspire this rich collection of works by choreographers Rebecca Herrmann Moyer and Katie Skettino.

At 6:30 pm

Music & Motion Dance
RED
Your eye is caught by a single color, RED. It is inescapable and compelling as senses are triggered and emotions aroused. When this color becomes the defining point of a relationship, one is caught up in whirlwind of seduction, passion, anger, romance and joy. Ultimately this color journey leads us to an empowering view of who we are and what is truly possible. Music and Motion Dance's new work RED, offers us an intimate look at relationships through the medium of movement, luscious visual imagery, differing human temperaments and undeniable beauty of self-discovery.

At 8:00 pm

Kate Jordan, Melissa Caterina Chisena, Tara Lynne Madsen
Una Sera di Danza
Dance works by Three Independent Choreographers

At 9:00 pm

Miro Dance Theatre
Lie To Me and shorter stories
Artistic directors Amanda Miller and Tobin Rothlein collaborate with Frankfurt choreographer Antony Rizzi to create a whirling array of narcoleptics, pyromaniacs, and paper dolls that weave video art, ballet and modern dance into a magic-realism performance that explores the lies we tell each other, the lies we tell ourselves, and the lies we love to be told. Inspired by Franz Kafka's writings, motifs from classical ballets, and stories of geographical displacement, this work combines the choreography of Amanda Miller and experimental media of Tobin Rothlein with Antony Rizzi's unique blend of theater, video and dance, shaped in part by his twenty years working in Germany with choreographer William Forsythe.

Music & Motion Dance Productions will be performing their new dance work RED on July 11th at 7:30pm as part of the Delaware County Summer Festival held at Rose Tree Park Amphitheater in Upper Providence Township.

Music and Motion Dance's new work RED, offers us an intimate look at relationships through the medium of movement, luscious visual imagery, differing human temperaments and undeniable beauty of self-discovery.

A single color, RED, becomes the defining point of a relationship, as one is caught up in whirlwind of seduction, passion, anger, romance and joy. Ultimately this color journey leads us to an empowering view of who we are and what is truly possible.

According to dancer, Andrea Piovane, “So much of being a teenager is about establishing friendships and relationships. And while there is a lot of advice out there, it can still be quite confusing at times. Relationships are not always easy to talk about, certainly not with parents and sometimes even with peers.”

Dancer Noelle Tolbert adds, “with this new dance work, fourteen young women have decided to express their feelings about relationships through dance and movement”. Artistic director, Steven Weisz acknowledges “allowing oneself to be vulnerable enough to just put your feelings out there is what makes the creation of RED more difficult than previous dance works this group has created, but the end results are something that touches all of us with a greater self-awareness.”
