.CollageMemphis Dance Collective will perform at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the MobileCivicCtr Theater. The troupe’s visit to Mobile, which includes a lecture, demonstration and master class for area schoolchildren, is presented by the DREAM Foundation.
A dance performance coming to Mobile this week will provide what one organizer thinks will be an inspirational demonstration of the ways artistic dance can transcend expectations.
Jerryln London of DREAM said the event is the third in a series, partly funded by grants from South Arts in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts and the Alabama State Council on the Arts. She and her husband – Excelsior Band leader Hosea London – made a trip to Little Rock to see Collage in action, and she said she came away wanting to share the troupe’s work with Mobile-area students and dance enthusiasts.
“I had never seen a ballet to that type of music before,” she said. “But the finale, all the last three songs were blues. There was Howlin’ Wolf’s ‘I’m a Man,’ then Koko Taylor’s ‘Wang Dang Doodle,’ and the end was to ‘The Thrill is Gone’ by B.B. King. I had never envisioned a ballet done to the blues. It was phenomenal.”
Its roster “includes a diverse range of classical and contemporary choreography,” the group says, and it works “to inspire the growth of ballet by showcasing a repertoire of relevant choreography and world-class dance representative of our community.”
