Featuring the diverse and multi-cultural Kidz Danz Kompany, this concert reflects on the year 1968 and how it in many ways parallels 2016. Presented will be new works titled “Mama Said”, an homage to the dedication of single motherhood and its struggles, and “KDK/1968/2016”, the definitive work of the evening. Both works are choreographed by Artistic Director Spencer John Powell. These works incorporate music from 1968 and 2016 with some song selections from years in between that complement each work. With costuming by Debbie Sloan of Fusionglass Company, her unique and Avant-garde designs provide a modern visual to the works.
Also included in the production will be new works choreographed by Ramon Montes, and new Visionary Dance Theatre dancers Tanya Lewis and James LaRose. They will have you tapping your feet to some of the greatest hits of 1968. This show will include guest performances by local performing artists such as Rebekah Ensley and Lenelle Wylie as well Visionary Youth Theatre. Visionary Dance Theatre will also premiere a new work titled “Black”. Additionally, Alessandra Eck of Fit4Drums (www.Fit4DrumsUSA.com) will do a guest performance piece.
Kidz Danz Kompany, San Diego’s first and only childrens modern dance company, is a modern dance-based company that also explores all dance genres, with a strong theatre background. This distinguished, critically acclaimed children’s dance company was founded in 1994 by Spencer John Powell in Utah and now is hosted by Visionary School for the Performing Arts. “KDK reminds us that a child’s world doesn’t have to be sanitized and schmaltzy. Kids are smarter than we give them credit for and able to process more than we think.” – San Diego Theatre Reviews.
