Berkeley Dance Project 2008 features four choreographic works ranging in style, scope and theme. Local San Francisco choreographer Jess Curtis will use improvisation to explore various ways of sensing and organizing our experience of movement. Through a re-mounting of her provocative piece, MELT, Kim Epifano considers the implications of global warming and environmental change on bodies, cultures, and consciousness. Performance studies doctoral student Ariel Osterweis Scott creates a new work based on the writing of Bay Area poet Robert Grenier. Finally, we are thrilled to offer a remounting of Twyla Tharp's quintessential post-modern work, Torelli. First created in 1976, the piece is being reconstructed with UCB students as part of Cal Performances celebration of Tharp's work.
