In 1998, the Pamela Trokanski Dance Theatre first presented
Athleticism & Dance... A combination lecture, demonstration, and
performance that explored eight aspects of what it means to be an athlete
in dance and how dancers share a lot in common with football, basketball,
baseball players, as well as wrestlers, gymnasts, and long distance
runners. This year, we decided that it's time to bring it back!
For those of you new to the company, the PTDT enters their 27th season
this year, and are known for dance works that straddle the worlds of
personal idiosyncrasy and contemporary culture, while, at the same time,
delivering the message in a vocabulary that is totally accessible to their
audiences; athletic, exuberant, humorous, and lyrical. This part of the
company's work is also defined by their mission statement: building
artistic literacy in the art form and making it accessible to the community
at large.
This 90 minute presentation also includes performances by guest
dancers, including Momentum Dance Company from Davis Senior High!
And opportunities for audience participation for those who would like to
explore some of the athletic components onstage! Great entertainment for
children and adults alike, the performance allows the audience a peek into
the physical nature of the art form.
Funded, in part, by Lisa DeAmicis & Dr. Thomas S. Nesbitt and Louise
Kellogg & Douglas Neuhouser, and Mark & Susan Mangel, children 12
and younger come for free to this unique performance, although the
individual child or group of children must be accompanied by an adult.
Also, while children 12 and younger are free, tickets are required for the
88 seat theater. Tickets are available, in advance, at the Dance
Workshop, and will be sold, or given, at the door, 30 minutes before the
show, until sold out.
Come see why Jim Carnes of the Sacramento Bee says, "Davis
choreographer Pamela Trokanski is perhaps unique among local
dance creators in being able to marry autobiography, popular culture
and universal concern into works of surprising seriousness and humor."
