Nouveau Now

The UNC Charlotte Departments of Dance and Music present an enchanting production created especially for the Carolina Theatre. Celebrating the 100 year anniversary of the Martha Graham Dance Company, the program will feature Adorations, Reimagined, a beautiful Graham work reconstructed by dance professor Kim Jones. Delia Neils painterly Ode to Alphonse Mucha will immerse dancers and the audience in lush Art Nouveau, with music by Debussy, Ravel and Satie. Tamara Williamss jazz choreography will embody the fervor of Duke Ellingtons Praise God and Dance played live by the UNC Charlotte Jazz Ensemble with soprano Sequina DuBose. Ashley L. Tate will bring Nouveau Now to a powerful close with a fusion of contemporary, jazz and hip hop movement set to an electro-soul and alternative rock soundtrack.
