Tere Mathern Dance/Minh Tran & Company

Mathern is a pattern maker, acclaimed for weaving lush swirling formations with razor sharp athleticism. Minh Tran has created a body of work celebrated for its singular fusion of traditional Asian and contemporary western techniques.

In a shared program, performed in the round, Tere Mathern Dance will premiere PIVOT, set to a live score by composer Tim DuRochre, that explores the instance of transfer - the fulcrum between balance and risk. Teaming up with composer Heather Perkins and videographer David Bryant, Minh Tran & Company will perform a new work on the subject of sexual identity, based on Tran's coming-out experience. A highlight of the program is a new collaborative duet by the choreographers who have long danced for and with each other.

Performance runs through January 24, 2010 at the World Forestry Center, Miller Hall, 4033 SW Canyon Road.
