MC MONDAYS kicks off its 2011-2012 season on Monday, September 26th with three exciting presentations. This inaugural event will feature a preview of the performance piece “Skana, Goddesses and More” and will launch both the Composers Concordance new website and the Mrak Duo.
1. A sneak peak at “Skana, Goddesses and More,” a performance to take place the next evening at Galapagos Arts Space, Brooklyn.
Skana, Goddesses and More features original female performers with engaging presence to weave together a web of music, dance and theatricality that is wavering, ethereal, and poetic.
Composers Milica Paranosic and Muriel Louveau, Choreograher Emily Pope Blackman and visual artist Carmen Kordas share the same passion for foreign cultures, virtual territories and they celebrate synergistic languages drawing global and historical influences that span centuries and cross ethnic and spiritual divides.
Milica Paranosic ‘s show ” Goddess chronicles” features Milica’sintimate views and interpretations of Goddesses from Roman, Slavic, Ewe, Hindu, Brazilian and Egyptian mythologies, in collaboration with Visual Artist Carmen Kordas.
Muriel Louveau’ s performance “Skana and more” is an extended and theatrical show, with live vocals, music and dance. Muriel will perform songs of “Skana “, an album entirely produced in cyber space with american composer Charles B Kim, and other selected pieces. All are in foreign languages inspired by far-off lands, and coming from liturgical as well as poetic sources.
For this new version, Emily Pope Blackman joins Muriel to create dance works in response to her singing. Her solo will echo to the variable tones reflected in Louveau’s voice contrasting between strength and fragility, highlighting delicate rhythms as well as sustained fluidity.
