Current work

Dance Jamaica!
Duhon Dance has been chosen as one of three companies to perform in Dance Jamaica!, a series of Saturday dance concerts in Jamaica, Queens. Our Saturday will be October 11, and we will do two performances: one at 11:00am and the other at 1:00pm. Each will be less than half an hour long. These are outdoor, site-specific performances, on the lawn of the Jamaica Performing Arts Center (JPAC), at Jamaica Ave and 153rd St. Please come and check it out! They're FREE and open to the public - whoever is passing by.

JPAC is right next to the Jamaica Center Parsons/Archer subway stop on the E, J, and Z trains, and also an easy walk from the Parsons Blvd stop on the F train.

Here is a brief description of our piece:

"Jamaica: from the Days of King to Today's Queens" tips its hat to U.S. Founding Father and early American Abolitionist Rufus King, whose house is across the street from what is now JPAC. Through spoken word, live music, and a range of dance styles, Duhon Dance both brings history to life and mirrors the energy and atmosphere of present-day Jamaica, Queens.

For further information on Dance Jamaica!, see the official press release.

Fledge
Duhon Dance and Colin Grubel, a scientist studying cormorants, completed the 6-week iLAB mini residency, "Fledge." We are currently working on writing up a summary of our experiences and discoveries, as well as editing together a short video from our rehearsals. Both will be posted here soon. Meanwhile, check out our photos on the Fledge page.

iLAND, the organization offering these iLAB residencies, supports collaborations between movement based artists and scientists, environmentalists, urban architects, and others.

Donde Voy
Theresa is also revisiting an old work that she choreographed in 2002, "Donde Voy," a solo for Naoko Matsumoto. We are in the process of reviving this work for performances this winter.

Spring 2008
Theresa taught modern dance classes and set pieces on local dancers in Salt Lake City, Utah, at the Sugar Space May 19-24. The culmination of this residency was a joint performance with other Sugar Space faculty and students on May 24. See the Sugar Space website for more details.

In NYC, Theresa performed a brand-new duet with dancer Maya Seidel at Middle Collegiate Church on April 13, in both the 9:00am service and the 11:15am service. This was a commissioned work and was performed to live music.
