ODC Theater Artist in Residence, Katie Faulkner pairs off with Chris Schlichting, who hails from the Twin Cities for an evening of dance exploring family, personal relationships, absence and fantasy.
Katie Faulkner / little seismic dance will premiere two new works and remount The Road Ahead, last year’s hit quartet created for the first annual ODC/Litquake collaboration set to text by National Bestselling Author, Tess Uriza Holthe and featuring former ODC dancer Private Freeman.

SF Chronicle article.
Dance View Times article.
“A master at abstracting everyday gestures into tender, neurotic things of beauty.” - Bonner Odell, SF Weekly
Katie Faulkner/ little seismic dance company DANCERS: Janet Das, Private Freeman, Rebecca Gilbert, Mo Miner and Nadia Oka.
Faulkner’s poetic, concise and achingly beautiful choreography is coupled with Chris Schlichting’s playful movement which speaks in the gestures of memory. A choreographic fantasy built and de-constructed from 1970s Americana, love things slips through streams of vernacular and formal dance, Top 40 songs, treasured objects and memories of an awkward and clumsy childhood. "The work begins by thinking through our dance histories, thinking about the movement as a conversation and how it speaks differently today than it did then," he says. "It's about what attracted us to dance initially and also reformulating that to where we are now."
“full of hilarious, touching and intriguing choreography....delivered with a singular virtuosity.” – MinnPost.com

SCUBA Touring Network is paving the way for mobilizing dance in America. Now in its seventh year, the annual showcase shares the most innovative local dance companies with audiences in Seattle, Philadelphia and San Francisco. This multi-city touring circuit proudly co-created by ODC Theater, Velocity Dance Center in Seattle, and the Southern Theater in Minneapolis in 2003, and now includes Philadelphia Dance Projects. In one evening, SCUBA gives you a glimpse of “the breadth of choreographic invention across the country” (Star Tribune). More information here. |
