Cerqua Rivera Dance Theatre announces its plans to develop work in this time, about this time.
To respond to this unprecedented time and to make and share art safely, Cerqua Rivera has completely restructured its 2020 season and announces a new slate of artistic projects.
2020 New Work
Cerqua Rivera’s 2020 new work responds to and utilizes social distancing. Work is being created with two casts, each including half the Dance Ensemble, and a chamber ensemble of the full Jazz Band.
- AMERICAN CATRACHO and ROOT – The company is reimagining sections of these performances informed by the current times. AMERICAN CATRACHO Directed and Curated 2016-2019 by Wilfredo Rivera featuring choreography by Christian Denice and Noelle Kayser; ROOT created 2018-2019 by Monique Haley and Joe Cerqua
- IDENTITY CITY – Directed and Curated by Wilfredo Rivera, featuring choreography by Shannon Alvis, Katlin Bourgeois, A. Raheim White and music by Joe Cerqua – This new project examines evolving concepts and acceptance (or not) of gender identity (year one of a four-year process) – This year’s work focuses on feelings of isolation and metamorphosis
- MOOD SWING – Artistic Director Wilfredo Rivera will lead four choreographers (Shannon Alvis, Katlin Bourgeois, Monique Haley, A. Raheim White) and composer Joe Cerqua in developing duets between musicians and dancers that respond to the current pandemic crisis and social justice movement
