Body music percussive choir MoToR/dance presents an intimate evening of story, dance, music and community.
MoToR/dance and Rhythmix Cultural Works presented the World Premiere of Water in the Kettle in February 2023 to sold out success and rave reviews. We are re-staging the show for One Night – Two Shows only.
“Throughout, the performers demonstrate a virtuosic command of the interplay between physicality, rhythm, and musicality to poke, prod, interrogate, and propose perspectives on what it means to be a woman—often with a delightful dose of dry humor.” – Molly Rose-Williams
MoToR/dance’s first evening-length production, featuring Artistic Director Evie Ladin’s body music choreography (harmony singing, body percussion, rhythm dance), Water in the Kettle illuminates the maddeningly recurrent struggles of modern women, and the country, with intention, humor, and connective rhythm. MoToR/dance reimagines the performance space, bringing the audience close, as in a village square. Layering rhythmic systems in hands, feet and body, adding three+part harmonies, MoToR/dance illustrates a collective consciousness, a precision requiring performers to listen intently to each other. From self-directed hum to blaring sarcasm, MoToR/dance tells choreographed stories with emotional impact. “It’s an explosion of molecules as we reach a boiling point.” Put some water on, we have a lot to discuss.
The two concerts lead into an Interactive Body Music Experience as part of the International Day of Body Music on Sunday, Feb 4th.
MoToR/dance ensemble members are Evie Ladin, Valerie Gutwirth, Keira Armstrong, Tammy Chang, Kristen DeAmicis, Heather Arnett and Sydney Lozier. Additional performers include chorus members JJ Hansen, Cynthia Mah and Linda Carr, and musicians Amber Hines (vocal, percussion) and Lisa Berman (vocal, banjo, slide guitar).
