Diversionary to Present West Coast Premiere of Compulsion Dance & Theatre Company

One of San Diego's most accomplished choreographers, Michael Mizerany (known to Diversionary audiences for his work on bare: a pop opera, Thrill Me, and A New Brain) presents an electrifying night of dance with the West Coast Premiere of his company, Compulsion Dance & Theatre! Man Clan features the premiere of two pieces choreographed by Mizerany. The title work, Man Clan, is a satirical and sometimes overtly provocative look at issues that are decidedly male, featuring four of San Diego's most prominent dancers. The second premiere, Uncoupling, is a take-no-prisoners duet that showcases Mizerany's dynamic choreography, powerful partnering and high-flying lift work. Rounding out the program are critical and audience favorites Via Dolorosa and the Lester Horton Award-winning solo Bump in the Road.

Dancers include Marty Anthony Dorado, Bradley R. Lundberg, Chad Ortiz, Erica Ruse and Nicholas Strasburg.

Man Clan contains mature content including adult themes and partial male nudity.

"One of the evening's highlights is Mizerany's stunning "Via Dolorosa" (commissioned by Diversionary Theatre) that features the spectacular moves of the riveting Chad Ortiz. This dance of suffering and supplication, bearing a heavy burden and ending in crucifixion, is magnificent and heart-rending." Pat Launer, Times of San Diego
