Parsons Dance - Saturday, March 19 at VPAC
Parsons Dance will perform an evening of vibrant and multi-dimensional dance at the Vilar Performing Arts Center (VPAC) on Saturday, March 19 at 7:30 p.m. New York-based Parsons Dance is an internationally renowned contemporary dance company under the artistic direction of dancer and choreographer David Parsons. The company includes 11 full-time dancers and maintains a repertory of more than 70 works.
The evening program at the VPAC will include Parsons’ signature piece “Caught” as well as “Remember Me,” a highly theatrical collaboration between Parsons Dance and the lead vocalists and music of East Village Opera Company.
“Remember Me,” is a multimedia work, with inventive lighting and eye-popping digital effects that uses contemporary music and dance to tell a tragic love story. “Remember Me” features East Village Opera Company’s hip, rock-tinged versions of some of the most famous arias and duets from the opera world.
All-new costumes by “Project Runway” designer Austin Scarlett and dramatic new lighting by Tony Award-winning lighting designer Howell Binkley turn up the passion and embolden David Parsons’ electrifying dance.
Since 1985, Parsons Dance has toured an average of 32 weeks per year, to a total of more than 250 cities, 35 countries, six continents and millions of audience members
