DANCE CENTER PRESENTS CHICAGO DEBUT OF KIMBERLY BARTOSIK/daela at The Dance Center

Kimberly Bartosik, former dancer with Merce Cunningham Dance Company, and her company Kimberly Bartosik/daela make their Chicago debut with her collaborative work I hunger for you January 30February 1, presented by the Dance Center of Columbia College Chicago, 1306 S. Michigan Avenue. I hunger for you is a reflection on faith and its power to transform the body. Suspended in a stark and mesmerizing world, the dance creates a space where internalized forces of faith pulse through dancers bodies, which restlessly, tenderly and violently confront one another. Bartosik, who choreographed this work in close collaboration with her performers, draws on her personal experience with Charismatic spirituality and delves into the heart of losing ones self in ecstasy, ritual and desire. Lighting and set design are by Roderick, original music is by Sivan Jacobovitz (arranged with Bartosik), and costumes are by Harriet Jung.
