artistic or political freedoms.

and Acrobats. Flowers and the Moon
"When one
creates a performance based on Marc Chagall's work, the basic
problem is whether it will include as much of the poetic mood that
the paintings have. In this work each single part and scene are
filled with it. We can find here some moments from The Birthday
[1915], Three Acrobats [1926], Lovers in the Bunch of
Flowers [1930] and from the later Chagall works: Comedians,
The Great Circus and Great Parade. During this journey
through Chagall's world, we are accompanied by his wife, Bella [Bella
in the White Collar]. The moon is shining and the dancers are
flying real magic." - Andrzej Molik, Kurier Lubelski
The Lublin Dance
Theatre will give three workshops in their particular style of dance
theatre.

Cultural Exchange
Program in Modern Dance
The American Dance Guild has been
developing cultural exchange programs in modern dance with several
countries abroad since 2000. The purpose of these programs is to
further the art of dance throughout the world. The first program was
started with the dance community of Poland. This program was
designed to assist the dance community of Poland to have
contemporary dance recognized in their country as an art form worthy
of academic accreditation. The American Dance Guild has played a
major role in having dance accredited as a degree program in
colleges and universities throughout the United States. The
presentation of the Lublin Dance Theatre and Contemporary Dance
Group of the Lublin University of Technology in "Global Dance Today"
is part of the ADG's cultural exchange with Poland. |
