JKing Dance Company (JKDC)
‘together, apart, is an introspective journey depicted by an all-female ensemble. Each member represents an aspect of self: emotional, physical, and mental health; this serves to humanize these abstract concepts, grounding them in a whimsically ephemeral reality of King’s design. Playing with these manifestations, we explore the deterioration of human health, posing the question: which aspect falters first, and how does that contribute to the decline or stimulation of their counterparts? The dancers additionally represent our relationships, creating a doubly layered metaphor that serves as a vehicle for examining how personal health affects ourselves and those around us. King’s work is hard-hitting and darkly funny, with music composed by Mozart, Dvorak, Haydn, and Savfk.

Chris Ferris & Dancers performs Seasonal-Just In Time, a suite of dances brewed up from observations of the shifting, circular patterns of trees, plants, and weather. Linear Folds in Orbit is a tightly composed brainy duet contrasting round flow and linear precision. The movement’s small details are its conversation and its large sweeps are a breath of air clearing the senses. The Pendulum Weighs In (trio) takes the momentum of a single axis and hurls it into space. The altered directions shift the temperature of the room. Choreography is by Chris Ferris. Music is by Loren Kiyoshi Dempster.
