Company in resdience at Casco Bay Movers, Little House Dance, presents Noisefloor in collaboration with Palaver Strings at The State Theater on December 6 & 7 at 7 pm.
Click here for tickets and information.
CBM teaching artist, Isabel Ball, and Portland Youth Dance choreographer, Dareon Blowe, are featured performers!
A note from Artistic Director, Heather Stewart: Noisefloor is an audiovisual encounter that seeks to guide audiences through the intersection between objective and experiential worlds. Featuring the talents of 21 collaborators from the worlds of music (string ensemble Palaver strings, composer Courtney Swain) and dance (little house dance, choreographer Heather Stewart), this experience uses architecture and acoustics to transform the traditional proscenium theater into an atmospheric cave. While the conceptual framework for Noisefloor came from a place that was abstract in nature, the making and performing of this work has all been very human. The choreographic structure exists as a sort of imperfect collective consciousness; moments of gathering, convergence, and tenderness are interjected by moments of loneliness, divergence, and solitude.
