Deeply Rooted Dance Theater Nov 6th
a little love for all of our Chicago readers:
Deeply Rooted Dance Theater presents: HIDDEN TREASURES
Deeply Rooted Dance Theater's Hidden Treasures features a world premiere of ''Adagio for Strings,'' originally commissioned by the Chicago Sinfonietta to commemorate Dr Martin Luther King Jr. Choreographed by Artistic Director Kevin Iega Jeff and Associate Artistic Director Gary Abbott to Samuel Barber's well-known composition, and featuring costumes by Michael Stein, this dance portrays the struggles, pain, and ultimate triumph of individuals in the civil rights movement.
The evening includes audience favorites ''Heaven'' and ''Church of Nations,'' works created by Jeff and Abbott. These beloved mainstays of the company's repertoire showcase the crowd-pleasing technical prowess for which the company is known, and reflect Jeff and Abbott's unique insights on human experiences and the richness of the spirit. ''For me dance is a perfect catalyst reflecting the inner voice. It bares who, why, and what we are, and who we strive to become.'' says Jeff.
The program also includes the revival of ''Nia Keii'' choreographed by Jeff in 1982 to celebrate the birth of a niece. ''Nia Keii'' interprets the fluid expression of nature's elements-sun, land, greenery, and water- with vibrant new costumes by Michael Stein and music by Joe Sample.
Hidden Treasures will conclude with the audience favorite ''Heaven.'' Originally choreographed in 2004 as part of a suite of dances exploring the lives of those afflicted with HIV/AIDS, ''Heaven'' engages the entire ensemble in a joyful celebration of triumph over adversity. Incorporating popular music forms and social dances, ''Heaven'' bonds the audience and performers in a celebration of dance as a universal medium. Students from Deeply Rooted's various community classes will then join the company in special grand finale.

Harris Theater for Music and Dance in Chicago's Millennium Park
