The Weis Center for the Performing Arts will welcome Contemporary Dance ensemble RUBBERBAND and their work “Ever So Slightly” on Tuesday, October 29 at 7:30 p.m. at the Weis Center.
There will be a pre-performance talk with Artistic Director Victor Quijada from 6:45-7:15 p.m. in the Weis Center Atrium.
The performance is sponsored, in part, by Gary and Sandy Sojka, with additional support provided by the Québec Government Office in New York.
This presentation was made possible by the Green Fund, an eco-touring initiative developed by RUBBERBAND in collaboration with Pentacle.
Los Angeles-native Victor Quijada brings together classical dance composition and West Coast hip-hop like no one before him. Bursting onto the scene with his Montreal-based company in 2002, Quijada uprooted the boundaries of contemporary dance, creating a singular language that is uniquely his own. His dance technique, the RUBBERBAND Method, is taught in some of the most prestigious dance schools and conservatories from Los Angeles to London.
Ever So Slightly explores the behavioral mechanisms and reflexes we develop against the ceaseless flow of irritants that bombard us in our daily lives. Most of us long for calm and resilience and ask how do we get to a zone where noise and aggressiveness no longer have a place?
