Accompanied by live music and vocals, The Cosmic Dance combines classical Indian movement (Bharatnatyam and Kuchipudi) with contemporary dance to vivify and celebrate the ancient Indian symbol of the Dancing Shiva, Nataraj, which is a cultural representation of divine transformation. Patelworks Dance Theater uses The Cosmic Dance to explore the deep significance of the image Nataraj, a symbol which has been alive for six thousand years.  The symbol at once represents the manifestation of primal rhythmic energy; protection and peace; destruction of ignorance and illusion; and the opening of Nataraj’s third eye—the gateway to wisdom.  Partial proceeds from The Cosmic Dance will be donated to The Center’s SEE(k)ING Project, an arts enrichment program that blends creative writing and dance to teach underprivileged children skills in artistic expression, critical thinking and collaboration. 

THE CENTER FOR CONTEMPORARY DANCE

SEE(k)ING is a heartfelt dance performance featuring youth participants in The Center’s community arts enrichment project of the same name.  The SEE(k)ING Project blends creative writing and dance to teach children from public schools and low-income families skills in artistic expression, self-confidence, critical thinking and collaboration.  Over the course of three months, participants bring to life writings from their journals through dances that express their personal experiences.  The current performance of SEE(k)ING involves the children of Hope CommUnity Center (www.offm.org), a resource center for children of migrant workers.  All proceeds from this performance support The Center’s SEE(k)ING program, so that it may be brought to new youth populations.  Join us for this inspiring and meaningful performance that is keeping arts education alive and well in Central Florida!

Emotions Dance Company, one of four resident dance companies operating out of the The Center for Contemporary Dance, uses contemporary dance to address often unexamined emotional challenges of the human experience, including issues related to self-esteem, control, fear and loss.  With a guest appearance by Nao Dance, another of The Center’s resident dance companies, Untold Stories opens Pandora’s Box and confronts the darkness in order to turn on the light. By exploring our universal truths, Untold Stories inspires dialogue, understanding and, ultimately, shows us the pathway to hope.
