Dance: "ECOSYSTEM |entwined" - Edinburg

Featuring interdisciplinary collaboration and live music, ECOSYSTEM |entwined| is an original work of dance created by UTRGV Assistant Professor of Dance, Gina Laurenzi. In this production, the choreographer brings together a Midwest composer, local artists, and guest dancers to create a thought-provoking & dynamic new work of contemporary dance to share with the community of the Rio Grande Valley. ECOSYSTEM |entwined| explores ecological themes and the human impact on environments through a crafted choreographic ecosystem. Through movement, sound, and visual art, the audience is immersed within a world, and witness to a changing landscape. The choreographer's work comes to life with original compositions performed by musician collaborator Allen Russell (Milwaukee, WI) on violin and electronics. The concert is constructed around set pieces by visual artist, and UTRGV Assistant Professor of Sculpture, Timothy Gonchoroff (Edinburg, TX). The sculptures are manipulated and swept into motion throughout the performance by an intergenerational cast of both local dancers and visiting performers of the Midwest.
