Events Fort Myers

A Big thanks to Stuart Brown and SBDAC  for letting me know this was going on Friday night mark your calendars.

Alyce Bochette is co-director of Dance Bochette. She spent 20 years touring internationally with dance companies including Mark Morris, May O’Donnell, and Rachel Lampert.  For the May 21 event, Bochette will dance one solo piece, “Suspension,” choreographed by May O’Donnell in 1939, with music by Ray Green.

The Bochette Dancers include local dancers Mariquita Anderson, Jennifer Reed, Lynn Vosloo, Kelley Natella, and Gerri Reaves, and the performance features actors Katie Pankow and Jim Brock.  Music for the reception and intermission will be performed by pianist Mary Seal.

With collaboration in staging and lighting design by Edison State College theater director, Stuart Brown, Alyce Bochette brings together original music and video by Rodney Woolsey and original poetry by Jim Brock, created specifically for the dance.  The performance builds on the theme of salvaging, with modern dance that is accessible, lyrical, vibrant, and whimsical.

Bochette wants her audience to consider the dynamic of salvaging in their own lives, whether it is spiritual, familial, ecological, or nostalgic, in which we seek to reclaim, recover, remember, and even revise our own lives.  The event brings together the audience as community.  It also affords each of us a little space for personal reflection.

The event begins with a 7:00 p.m. reception, and performance at 8:00 p.m. at the Sidney and Berne Davis Arts Center in the River District of Fort Myers at 2301 First Street.  Tickets are $35. Student tickets with student seating are $15. For more information and tickets, call the box office at (239) 333-1933 or visit the website at www.sbdac.com.
