OMC IS EQUALLY COMMITTED TO OFFERING ADMIRABLE OPPORTUNITIES TO DANCERS IN OUR COMMUNITY IN THE FORM OF MASTER CLASSES, GUEST RESIDENCIES, AND PAID WORK TO FURTHER THE VALIDITY OF THE DANCE PROFESSION IN LOUISIANA.
I WILL BE TEACHING MASTER CLASSES FOR BOTH OMC’S MAIN COMPANY AND THEIR YOUTH PROGRAM. I’LL ALSO BE CHOREOGRAPHING A NEW PIECE ON THE COMPANY FOR THEIR ANNUAL PRODUCTION, KICK IT OUT… AROUND THE WORLD, IN JANUARY 2022, WHICH FLEE DANCE WILL BE A PART OF AS A GUEST PERFORMER.

EVENT DESCRIPTION: FOUNDED IN 1987, OF MOVING COLORS PRODUCTIONS IS LAUNCHING OUR SEASON WITH AN EVENING OF SPECIAL DELIGHTS. EXPOSED TAKES A “PEEK BETWEEN THE CUSHIONS” WITH EXCERPTS FROM SOFA STORIES, WHICH PREMIERED IN 2018. FROM FOLDING LAUNDRY TO FALLING IN LOVE, COME SEE WHY THIS WORK HAS BEEN CALLED ONE OF THE MOST DELIGHTFUL IN ALL OF OMC‘S HISTORY. THE AUDIENCE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE PREMIERE OF A WORK-IN-PROGRESS CHOREOGRAPHED BY OMC‘S GUEST ARTIST IN RESIDENCE, FRANKIE LEE PETERSON III. FRANKIE HAS PERFORMED WITH ZION DANCE PROJECT, IS A COMPANY INSTRUCTOR FOR DALLAS BLACK DANCE THEATRE, AND IS THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR AND FOUNDER OF FLEE DANCE. TO HELP TEAR THE WALLS DOWN BETWEEN AUDIENCE AND PERFORMER, THE COMPANY IS HOSTING A SHORT Q&A SESSION NEAR THE END OF THE PROGRAM AND INVITES YOU TO JOIN THEM AT STROUBES FOR WINE AND CHEESE FOLLOWING THIS OPEN SHOWING OF WORK. AS ALWAYS, THE FALL PERFORMANCE IS A FANTASTIC WAY TO MEET THE PROFESSIONAL DANCERS THAT LIVE IN YOUR CITY.
CREDIT STATEMENT: THE PRESENTATION OF EXPOSED IS MADE POSSIBLE BY THE MARGARET GOODWIN MEMORIAL FUND, WITH LEAD FUNDING FROM LOCKE MEREDITH, SEAN FAGAN & ASSOCIATES, ATTORNEYS.
ALSO, WHILE HERE IN BATON ROUGE, FLEE DANCE WILL BE GUEST TEACHING FOR THE DANCE DEPARTMENT AT LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY (LSU). I AM VERY EXCITED TO POUR INTO THIS COMMUNITY. MORE COMING SOON; STAY TUNED.
