PhotoL MamLuft&Co
Cincinnati’s own — and only — purely modern dance
ensemble, MamLuft&Co, is kicking off its sixth season. In keeping
with its innovative, collaborative spirit, the company joins forces with
nontraditional chamber music ensemble concert:nova and Cincinnati Art
Museum for an intriguing, two-part concert/art installation experience.
First, audiences are invited to check out the CAM’s free, off-site
exhibition Doug and Mike Starn: Gravity of Light at the historic
Holy Cross Church at the Monastery in Mount Adams, where the dancers
will become a living, moving part of the installation.
The wonderfully
crumbling environs feature a carbon-arc lamp modeled after an 1804
design and larger-than-life photography as a backdrop to contemporary
movement. Next, at the CAM’s Fath Auditorium, audiences take in
concert:nova featuring MamLuft&Co. in the multi-faceted “The
So-Called Laws of Nature,” which draws inspiration from Gravity of Light.
All told, these combined efforts promise to deliver an engaging,
multi-sensory experience exploring the impermanence of beauty. See
website for times and details. Exhibit is free, concert $10-$30. Holy
Cross Church, 1055 St. Paul Place, Mount Adams; Cincinnati Art Museum,
953 Eden Park Drive, Mount Adams. mamluftcodance.org/12concertnova.
