Deep Waters Dance Theater
Deep Waters Dance Theater will present a section from a work in progress titled, “….Our daily bread”. This piece explores the folklore of food in our cultures and how food has shaped our cultural identity. Drawing from collected folkstories, recipes, interviews with community members and food activists this piece looks at how our food traditions are being impacted by industrialization and the global food crisis.

Folawole Oyinlola

Folawole Oyinlola
The name of the work is ‘My Lady Love Ol’ Liberty’, by Folawole Oyinlola, Carey Lamprecht and David Petrelli.

Sally E. DeanSally E. Dean
Currently Sally is exploring how to find new performative languages that draw on both the traditional, codified Indonesian dance forms and contemporary Western dance practice, but go beyond both. In this new artistic experimentation, as well as her recent 18 months living and creating in Solo, Java, emerges the dance/theatre work untitled “Kecil” (Indonesian for “Small”). “Kecil” is performed in a confined space (3 feet by 3 feet) – inspired by the Javanese Traditional Markets where women work up to 12 hours a day in very small stalls surrounded by meticulously packed market goods. The movement for “Kecil” is influenced by Javanese Bedhaya Court Dances where small, slow, contained movement radiates a meditative quality.
