MAYDAY // MAY DAY at Alpha Omega Theatrical Dance Theater

MAYDAY // MAY DAY is a show that incorporates dances from Clymene Aldingers Femmenisto Chapter One, an evening-length work that premiered in December 2021, and past and present dances choreographed by Aldinger, that explore philosophy and spirituality. The choreography will traverse the dark, weird, and painful, as well as the silly, quirky, and fun. The dancers will vacillate onstage between shared moments and aloneness. The dancers surge with stamina and athleticism, utilizing tempo, strength and partnering acumen while also harnessing the art of pause and reverting to slow-motion. The dancers take turns physically supporting each other and emotionally connecting, through darker and lighter interactions, often finding themselves in existential crisis. Ultimately, they attempt to find a balance in movement that feels authentic to who they are as individuals full of beautiful shadow and frightening potential.
