2009-10-20T16:02:00.000-07:00

Summer of Love
Choreography Karole Armitage
Music Burkina Electric
Costumes Peter Speliopoulos

Armitage Gone! Dance, Lukas Ligeti and Burkina Electric join together for a Dionysian celebration in Summer of Love. Armitage’s mix of off-kilter ballet, club dance, and erotica ripple out in waves of fracturing crystalline motion. The music by Burkina Electric combines the burkinabé music of Burkina Faso and Western club electronica. Costumes by Peter Speliopoulos take inspiration from the documentary photography of sixties youth culture by Malick Sidibé in Mali and the hippie movement in the west.

Armitage Gone! Dance - NEW YORK SEASON
March 4th-14th, 2009 at 8pm.
Tix $15
Think Punk!

Celebrating 30 years of her choreography, Armitage Gone! Dance presents a world premiere and selections from Karole Armitage’s landmark works.
Dubbed the “Punk Ballerina,” Armitage pioneered a high-voltage, hard-rock ballet style that pushed the limits of classical ballet technique and re-envisioned its sonic and pictorial environment.
“Drastic Classicism” (1981), music by Rhys Chatham, delivers a skewed classical vocabulary with full force. “Watteau Duets” (1985), music by David Linton, deconstructs the pas de deux, plus “Wild Thing” (1987), music by Jimi Hendrix and set by Jeff Koons, and the world premiere “Mashup,” with a new score by Daniel Iglesia.

Dancers: Leonides D. Arpon, Krisitina Bethel, Giorgia Bovo, Megumi Eda, William Isaac, Dana Marie Ingraham, Luke Manley , Matthew Prescott, Abbey Roesner, Bennyroyce Royon and Masayo Yamaguchi
Rehearsal Director: Brian Carey Chung
With music director John King and TALIBAM! (Matt Mottle and Kevin Shea) and guitarists Sarah Lipstate, Steve Gunn, Paul Duncan and Tom Gerke.

* In addition to “Drastic Classicism,” and “Mashup,” Leonides D. Arpon performs “Wild Thing” with Dana Marie Ingraham on March 6th, 7th, 12th, 13th.

Leonides D. Arpon performs with Armitage Gone! Dance in collaboration with Burkina Electric

2008-07-30T19:17:00.000-07:00

Armitage Gone! Dance with Burkina Electric: Summer of Love
U.S. Premiere
Lead commissioning E.A.R. Teatro Massimo Vincenzo Bellini di Catania. World premiere December 16, 2008 Teatro Bellini.

With additional commissioning from Lincoln Center for Lincoln Center Out of Doors' open-air preview, August 8, 2008.

“Fiercely pure … Armitage follows a path cleared by George Balanchine … she presents the performers as molten steel cooling into stunning shapes; yet also reminds us that they are not clones of a technique but individuals, with minds, moods, and imperfections of their own.” — The Village Voice
Known for poetic, dreamlike stage productions that combine new dance, music, and art, Karole Armitage has revolutionized classical dance. Armitage Gone! Dance, which includes dancers from Asia, Africa, and Europe, was re-launched in 2005 when Armitage returned to the U.S. after working abroad for 15 years.
Armitage Gone! joins together with Lukas Ligeti’s Burkina Electric for a Dionysian celebration in Summer of Love. Armitage’s mix of off-kilter ballet, club dance, and sensuality ripple out in waves of fracturing crystalline motion. The music by Burkina Electric combines the burkinabé music of Burkina Faso and Western club electronica. Costumes by Peter Speliopoulos take inspiration from the documentary photography of sixties youth culture by Malick Sidbé in Mali and the hippie movement in the West.
