Fringe Dance Festival:
A showcase of dance in the boarder land

Jun 25-Jun 26, 2022

SAT JUNE 25 | 8:00 PM
SUN JUNE 26 | 2:30 PM

Description

The dance company is bringing pieces from shows spanning the last six years, pieces from their most recent show, The Ring Leader, and a preview of a piece in their upcoming show.
A special piece will be featured this year that was created specifically for the festival. Creative Director Morgan Rivera in collaboration with her husband’s cousins Brahm, Dhaveed, and Mauro have created an art piece. Brahm and Dhaveed worked together to create a visual art piece. Mauro then took that visual art and created music to match. Once both of those were finished, Morgan started the choreography for the piece. This piece shows how art forms coincide with each other and create something beautiful.
The idea for Fringe Dance Festival was originally started by Black Box Theater owner Ceil Herman who wanted to have more dance performances in her theater. It allows companies like The Dance Eclectic to showcase pieces from previous shows that have not been seen in many years. It will also preview a piece from the upcoming The Dance Eclectic show in Spring 2023 choreographed by Andrea Severson Lopez (former member of TDE).

About The Dance Eclectic. The Dance Eclectic is excited to revive pieces that have been performed over the years. This year we are excited to bring back some of our creepier pieces like “in the Pines” and "Sail" from our western style show. We will also be performing a piece from our most recent show "The Ring Leader." "These pieces highlight the diversity in our collective," Creative Director Morgan Rivera says about the pieces for this years’ show.
The Dance Eclectic seeks to provide opportunities for dancers of all skill levels, backgrounds, and abilities, as well as individuals who are simply creative and want an outlet to dance and work collaboratively with others with similar passions. They are primarily focused on crafting a single creative theatrical production once a year that explores a theme or narrative on which the members collectively agree. These productions are highly collaborative, with every member having a voice in their creation, by contributing original choreography, costuming, and more. Ages and skill levels of the dancers in the Collective vary greatly, with members in their teens, twenties, and thirties. Some members have been dancing since the age of 3, some have college degrees in dance, and some members found their passion for dance only in the last few years.
