MOMIX
11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m., Saturday, October 16, 2010
With puppets, magical lighting, an athletic troupe and an array of vivid costumes at his disposal, Artistic Director Moses Pendleton pays homage to nature with his latest creation, following the rhythms of the New England seasons. Flora and fauna, all in human form, come to life, express themselves and exit life’s stage metaphorically. Pendleton’s choreography is a welcome respite from the technologically constructed civilization around us, it is easy to see why audiences have embraced this beautifully symbolic dance through the seasons.

Diavolo Dance Theater
11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m., Friday, November 5, 2010
In their new work, Fearful Symmetries, Diavolo Dance Theater explores how we arrange and rearrange the symmetries of nature as we evolve. Since its inception in 1992, Diavolo Dance Theater, a company of dancers, gymnasts and actors, has wowed audiences and critics alike with interdisciplinary performances that examine the funny and frightening ways individuals act with their environment. Symmetries is the latest in a provocative line of brilliantly conceived, athletically achieved, abstract narratives on the human condition. Diavolo Dance Theater impresses, inspires and ultimately, makes you think.
