UpComing performances "Alone, Alone" An evening-length concert with original choreography by KDH Dance Company, original music performed live by Hill Ma (a progressive ambient rock band based in Austin), and a gallery installation. Here’s what Kathy has to say about Hill Ma: “Their changing tempi, rhythms, keys and dynamics are unpredictable and exciting. The transitions from one idea to the next are totally unexpected, yet flawless and smooth. And they use a lot of 3s and 5s, two of my favorite meters, instead of the usual 4s. I’m also drawn to their passionate melodies and unusual harmonies. The dancers love their music, and I think the audience will, too.” And the choreography? “I think the title speaks well to the content of this particular show. We’ve all experienced a frightening moment of total isolation, a pang of loneliness or a sudden disconnect to the world around us. But we’ve also experienced the need to be alone. Choreographically, we’re working on a wide range of ideas and tones as they relate to the concept of being alone.” We highly recommend that you purchase your tickets in advance for this concert.

Affair The Loop “Something heavenly happens every time one
of Kathy Dunn Hamrick’s dancers unfolds her arms and lifts
her chest to the ceiling. The KDH Dance Company, performing Sunday
at the One World Theatre, collects beautiful dancers, who unfurl
their limbs with elegance and breath in the premiere of Hamrick’s ‘The
Loop.’” “
I applaud their stamina. I loved the intimacy of the space, to
see the dancers sweat, chests heaving to catch enough air before
rejoining the spinning spiel suggestive of dandelion parachutes
blowing round to rites of spring. Successful duets…so enchanted
me I could not take notes or break the spell to force recall. All
I can say is ‘thank you.’” Flash Dance: 30 Dances
