VISIONARY DANCE THEATRE PRESENTS "SHADOWORX" MAY 27-28

By Liz Alper

May 11, 2016 (San Diego) - The Visionary Dance Theatre proudly presents "SHADOWORX," a work of modern dance and video art, at the City Heights Performance Annex (3795 Fairmount Ave., behind the City Heights/Weingart Branch Libray) on May 27^th and 28^th at 7:30 p.m.

Featuring the works of Natalia Valerdi-Rogers, SHADOWORX brings to the stage a blend of dance and video art, the unique brand of this choreographer and artist. Her work brings intensity, experimentation and contemporary minimalism to a refined balance. Driven by electronic music and experimental video, Valerdi-Rogers creates a world of emotions and landscapes that convey their own reality.

This year’s Spring program includes the world premiere of "Chairs of Mass Distraction".  This work is about the playful musings of five women around four chairs, and the personalities they reveal through them. Inspired by the stripped antique chairs transformed by artist Miriam Sievers, this work features Phantom Words and other musical illusions invented by University of California San Diego Professor of Psychology Diana Deutsch with the music of Frédéric Chopin.

Tickets are $14 in advance and $19 for general audiences.  The ticket window closes on May 22.  For more information, go to http://visionarydancetheatre.org/Visionary/.
