Same Planet Different World Dance Theatre
The Dance Center of Columbia College Chicago presents Same Planet Different World Dance Theatre offering a program filled with a variety of dance choreography, including a world premiere.
In Grey Noise, choreographed by company Artistic Director Joanna Rosenthal and inspired by 1940s and '50s film noir, five dancers perform an intensely physical and emotional piece that depicts people consumed by an edgy and unpredictable environment.
Also on the program is the world premiere of HIT, by choreographer Carl Flink, where dancers are depicted in a "singular event" atmosphere and where collision, not victory is the goal. Additional performances include To Have and to Hold, with choreography by Daniel Shapiro and Joanie Smith, and a free, family-friendly dance matinee on Saturday, March 12.
Same Planet Different World Dance Theatre performs Thursday through Saturday, March 10-12, at 8pm, at The Dance Center of Columbia College Chicago, 1306 S. Michigan Ave. Tickets are $26-30. The Family Dance Matinee takes place Saturday, March 12 at 3pm; children age 12 and under are free; adults, $15. For tickets, call 312-369-8330. For more information about SPDW, visit spdwdance.org.
