TITAS PRESENTS PARSONS DANCE COMPANY, ONE OF THE HOTTEST TICKETS IN MODERN DANCE
“One of the most successful modern dance companies in the world.”
–NBC’s Today Show
Dallas, TX – The top shelf talent that makes up the TITAS 2008-09 Dance Season will once again be on display when PARSONS DANCE COMPANY takes the McFarlin Auditorium stage on Friday & Saturday, March 27 & 28, 2009 at 8:00 PM. “It seems there’s no end to choreographer David Parsons’ inventiveness. Whether it’s creating wacky images of dancing hands, freezing a dancer’s leap in midair or bringing Mozart’s glorious music to visual life, Parsons takes a simple idea and makes it art.”(Seattle Post-Intelligencer)
The sexy, athleticism, exuberant personality and joyous movement that is Parsons Dance is comprised of ten full-time dancers and maintains a repertory of over 60 works (20 with commissioned scores) choreographed by David Parsons. The company's style is a fusion of the gesture and movement that make up the modern dance vocabulary, and the discipline and precise execution one expects from a classical company. “It does not take long to see why Parsons and his company are one of the hottest tickets in contemporary American dance. First, they are all terrific performers, energized, eager to please and rehearsed within an inch of their lives. Second…Parsons provides choreography that’s consistently intelligent, witty, well-crafted, and humane.” (The Toronto Staff)
During their TITAS performances, the company will be performing: Nascimento Nova, Ebben, In the End, Kind of Blue, Caught and Shining Star.
