OTHER SUNS (A TRILOGY) Hits Montclair State University 10/15-18

Margaret Jenkins Dance Company and Guangdong Modern Dance Company collaborate in the East Coast premiere of Other Suns (A Trilogy). The show features live music by The Paul Dresher Ensemble.

The show runs from October 15-18, Times: October 15,16 at 7:30pm; October 17 at 8pm; October 18 at 3pm.

Marking the first collaboration between an American and Chinese modern dance company, “Other Suns (A Trilogy),” resulted from multiple transpacific trips by San Francisco’s Margaret Jenkins Dance Company and the Paul Dresher Ensemble, and China’s Guangdong Modern Dance Company.  The work, which explores symmetry in a world rapidly losing its sense of balance, placed unique collaborative demands on each company, most especially the Chinese dancers who are not accustomed to making creative contributions to the development of a work. Jenkins and Guangdong’s Deputy Director Liu Qi direct the choreography. Its original score by composer Paul Dresher with additional music by Chinese composer Bun-Ching Lam will be played live by the Paul Dresher Ensemble.  The design work is by Alexander V. Nichols.
