Reflections: Invited Choreographers Showcase

Reflections is an annual showcase that pairs Shenandoah Conservatory dance students with some of the most invigorating and inventive choreographers in the field. This year’s program features works created and re-staged by a lineup of emerging young guest artists who are exploring a range of unique movement styles.

Program Highlights

Phoenix Rising
Choreography by Tiffanie Carson

In this piece, ShenCo Phoenix will rise from the ashes demonstrating their individual and collective resiliency.

“It has been my absolute pleasure mentoring and guiding this group of eleven uniquely special individuals in their journey to produce this concert. I am immensely proud of their work and I hope you will enjoy this ensemble work featuring the Bachelor of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Arts dance class of 2022.” – Tiffanie Carson

City in the Sky
Choreography by Lauren Carnesi

City in the Sky is a contemporary modern work based on the His Dark Materials book series by Philip Pullman. The work focuses on world building and creating a dark and ethereal atmosphere.

Evil Twin
Choreography by Roderick George

Evil Twin is a creation that plays with the deconstruction of human and machine behavior. It is also a hip-hop vernacular exchange entwined with ballet and contemporary rigor. The music causes an abrupt reaction, yet the humorous gestures and classical lines fill the room with fun. Dancers of different shapes and sizes, clad in gray sportswear, show the neutralness of humanity to this electronic unconventional dance. Evil Twin premiered in the summer of 2013 at Springboard Dans Montreal and was recreated in a virtual performance with the Canadian Contemporary Dance Theatre in June 2021.

Rejoice
Choreography by Natasha Davis

Rejoice is an invigorating performance of an Afro-Jazz dance that integrates the essence of traditional African movement and contemporary Jazz styles.
