Case Western Reserve University Department of Dance will present, Mastering Gravity, a concert of new dance works by Master of Fine Arts candidates Kristy Clement and Rachel Stoneking at Mather Dance Center Thursday, March 22, through Saturday, March 24, at 8 p.m. with a Sunday matinee at 2:30 p.m. on March 25. The concert features solo, duet and group works by Clement and Stoneking and choreography from dance faculty member, Andre Megerdichian. Mather Dance Center is located at 11040 Bellflower Road in Cleveland.
Clement’s solo The Tragic Romance of Music and Dance incorporates piano music composed and performed by Alex Cooke and represents a romantic duo searching for harmony and finding tension when differences interfere.
Clement’s septet, Creatures of Habit, follows a young female who wants to be part of the popular crowd or “high society,” but realizes the behaviors she must adopt do not wear well. She sheds the lifestyle to move on to one that is more healthy and happy. The dance is set to a sound score designed by Ms. Clement.
