Imaginary Ordinary
Imaginary Ordinary is a work set on five dancers. Originally shown as
a works-in-progress at the In Flux Performance Series, this piece was
chosen for completion and invited for performance in the final In Flux
Performance Series in May 2007. Moderator Curt Haworth, describes Imaginary
Ordinary as “an old time debutante party gone wild. It was a wonderful
mix of worlds that took us on a fun, obsessive and passionate theatrical
ride." In this evening length premier, react/dance will delve into
the back-story of the unique characters and will uncover the events leading
up to climactic finish.
REACT/Dance
React/dance is Philly based dance company born from the late, great Reactionaries.
The company is co-directed by Jacelyn Biondo and Kristen Shahverdian,
both former Reactionary company members and collaborators. React/dance
is inspired by the same mission of Reactionaries, originally founded by
Mark O’Maley, to create “site-specific, visually motivated movement
that challenges the norms of typical dance and theatre presentation.”
React/dance seeks to diminish the boundaries between audience and performer,
giving the audience more control over their experience. It is our mission
to create work specific to the performance site and audience and to use
our venues on new, unique ways.
