Coming Soon. . . Factoids for Reflections on the Danube, EDT's Spring Show 2012
March 23-25, 2012
Take a journey from the Black Forest to Black Sea as Ethnic Dance Theatre presents, Reflections on the Danube.
The performance will be presented in EDT's signature style with traditional choreography, live music and spectacular costumes.
ASL interpretation will be a part of each performance.
Featuring Exciting Costume and Movement. . .
Artistic Director Donald La Course, EDT resident choreographer Eva Maria Kish, and guest choreographers John Morovich from Seattle and John Omorean from the Twin Cities will create choreography for Reflections on the Danube.
Three new choreographies will be premiered, and five works from the EDT repertoire will be revived for this concert. La Course will stage Tanze vom Schwarzwald, from the fairytale-like Black Forest of Germany. Morovich will create a new work from the Baranja region of Croatia featuring enchanting music and priceless antique costumes. Omorean’s piece comes from the Danube delta region of Dobrogea in Romania, with haunting violins and lightning footwork. Revivals will be La Course’s Severniashki Horo from Bulgaria, Oan Junge, zwoa Deandln from Austria, Trencanska Polka from Slovakia and Pesme I Igre iz Šumadija from Serbia. The show also features a revival of Kish’s A Dunarol Fujj a Szel, from the Dunantuli region of Hungary.
. . .and thrilling Sounds!
Reflections on the Danube will be a spectacular musical show. In addition to the McKnight award winning Orkestar Bez Ime performing all the musical sets, Reflections on the Danube will feature the multi-faceted vocal talents of singer Natalie Nowytski and Mila Vocal Ensemble.
