The modern dance company Keigwin + Company will be conducting a one-week residency at The College of Brockport, State University of New York, from February 23rd through 28th. The residency will end with three public performances in Hartwell Dance Theater on Friday, February 27th at 7:30 pm and Saturday, February 28th at 5:00 and 7:30 pm.
Keigwin + Co. was established in 2003 under the artistic direction of Larry Keigwin. Combining physicality with theatricality, the company performs provocative and witty work, always with style. The New York Times writes, “Keigwin achieves astonishing feats of dancing ... a parcel of pure explosive energy mediated by impressive technical skills.” The Brockport concerts will include "Love Songs" and excerpts from "Elements," among other works. "Elements" is a four-part work—inspired by earth, fire, water and air—set to a wide range of music including Mozart, Chopin, Patsy Cline, Etta James and Perry Como. Dancing alongside the professional company will be a select group of Brockport students. “Residencies give us the opportunity to take the whole company and perform and teach," Keigwin said. "It's enriching not only for the company, but for dancers in the community and the entire community itself."
Tickets can be purchased from the Brockport Student Government Box Office, (585) 395-2487. Keigwin + Company’s residency and performances are sponsored by the Student Dance Organization, Brockport Student Government, and The College at Brockport’s Department of Dance.
