Urban Dance Innovators Ephrat Asherie Dance Odeon
Join UCSB Arts & Lectures as they present Urban Dance Innovators Ephrat Asherie Dance Odeon on Tuesday, April 20 at 5 p.m. Pacific. Ephrat “Bounce” Asherie has shown off her formidable street dance chops as a favorite member of Dorrance Dance. A New York-based b-girl with extensive training in ballet and modern dance, the Israel native returns with her own company, revealing and exploring the complexities of street and social dance forms. Odeon, a new work for seven dancers and four musicians, brings together and remixes street and club dances including breaking, hip hop, house and vogue, set to a mix of early 20th century romantic music and popular Afro-Brazilian rhythms. This performance will be followed by a moderated Q&A.
