“Rondo,” a multi-media dance theater work is a trans-cultural collaboration between two cutting edge dance companies from two different parts of the globe; Leni-Basso Dance Company, one of Tokyo’s leading contemporary dance companies and Philadelphia’s internationally renowned Group Motion Multi-Media Dance Theater. This unique and highly anticipated collaboration extended over two years of artistic dialogue and exchange and one year of creating the piece. Rondo is a multi media dance piece about making a dance. It explores and expands the physical and energetic space between the dancers in the stage space. The piece explores juxtaposing the three dimensional space or the dance and the two dimensional space of the live feed and pre-taped video projection. The project will explore the possibilities of pure movement—looking beyond cultural difference in an attempt to achieve a fusion of movement vocabularies. This project which is co-commissioned through the College will have open interactive dress rehearsals with a connection to Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan using Internet 2 during the week of September 12th.
