Nimbus Dance: Point of Contact

Nimbus Arts Center

November 13 & 14, 7:30 pm

November 15, 3:00 pm

World Premiere by Princess Grace Award-winning Choreographer Omar Román de Jesús in collaboration with Segunda Quimbamba Puerto Rican Drum Ensemble.

Samuel Pott’s emotionally wrenching 2014 dance Surface Tension returns. Set to the music of Johannes Brahms and Franz Liszt performed live by pianist Yukiko Tanaka. Both a meditation on the ebb and flow of the oceans and a "treatise on death" (Broadway World, 2016)

Nimbus is joined by Lauri Stallings' Atlanta based glo. Intertwining the late Kaija Saariaho’s final Concerto with song creations by Lucy Dacus, Lauri Stallings’ Hush meditates on resilience, persistence, and the patience required to shift social norms.

This performance is funded in part through the NJEDA’s A.R.T. – Phase II Grant Program and by the Hudson County History Partnership Program administered by the Hudson County Office of Cultural & Heritage Affairs/Tourism Development, Craig Guy, Hudson County Executive & the Hudson County Board of County Commissioners.
