March 30: MMC Hosts Alumni for an Evening with DanceBrazil at The Joyce Theater
March 30, 2012
Date: Friday, March 30 Time: 7-10 p.m. Location: The Joyce Theater, 175 Eighth Avenue at 19th Street Cost: $30 per person Registration Information: This event is SOLD OUT.
Applauded for its “high-octane, high-flying” (The New York Times) fusion of Afro-Brazilian movement, contemporary dance and Capoeira, the company performs Dance like a Fight - Fight like a Dance, a sensuous, fast-paced new work by Artistic Director Jelon Vieira that draws upon the ongoing dialogue of a Capoeira roda, the circle where Capoeira lives. Also on the program, the revival of last season’s hit Batuke, a hard-driving piece exploding with the rhythms created by smooth samba steps, Capoeira lethal kicks, and the stick dance Maculelé. Prior to the performance, a wine and hors d’oeuvre reception will be held for Marymount Manhattan Alumni at The Joyce Theater. For more information about DanceBrazil, please visit dancebrazil.org.
