DESCRIPTION:Ohio Wesleyan University&rsquo\;s Orchesis Dance Company will present three performances of &ldquo\;Orchesis 23/24\,&rdquo\; a contemporary dance concert that explores the theme of individuality.
The show will debut at 8 p.m. Nov. 10 with additional performances at 2 p.m. Nov. 11 and Nov. 12 on the Main Stage of OWU&rsquo\;s Chappelear Drama Center\, 45 Rowland Ave.\, Delaware. Admission is free\, but reservations are requested and may be made here.
&ldquo\;Orchesis 23/24&rdquo\; will feature choreography by Schroeder\; guest artist Sarah Ramey\, director of Perennial Movement Group of Columbus\, Ohio\; and six student-choreographers.
Ramey&rsquo\;s piece examines how we see others and how we are seen. In the process\, the dancers explored questions such as &ldquo\;What do I risk if I let myself be fully seen by another?&rdquo\; &ldquo\;Can I see another person fully?&rdquo\; The piece features an original score and song created by Columbus musician Steven Ramey in collaboration with the dancers.
Orchesis 23/24 also will feature these choreographers and works:
&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Senior Alyssa Head\, a horror movie enthusiast from Houston\, Texas\, draws inspiration from &ldquo\;The Masque of the Red Death&rdquo\; by Edgar Allen Poe and evokes movement aesthetics from horror films to examine the dualities between life and death and the inevitable end.
&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Senior Isabelle Tinti-Kane of Marblehead\, Massachusetts\, presents &ldquo\;The Rise and Fall\,&rdquo\; a piece in four movements that explores trust\, betrayal\, and divinity through ballet technique and pedestrian movement.
&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Senior Chloe Williams of Wilmington\, Ohio\, presents a solo contemporary piece that showcases her growth as a dancer\, framed in the context of changing seasons.
&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Junior Brielle Decarolis of Albrightsville\, Pennsylvania\, combines movements from improvisation and media with tools like a number generator and the flip of a coin to explore randomized choreographic processes.
&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Junior Grace Frye of Newark\, Ohio\, encourages performers to explore their natural states of joyfulness\, with a tinge of oddity\, using the vocabulary of concert tap dance.
&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Sophomore Kaylen Brandt of Chicago\, Illinois\, explores the dynamics of toxic friendships through choreography that demonstrates betrayal and the crumbling of hierarchy among friends.
&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Orchesis director Schroeder\, Ph.D.\, a part-time OWU dance instructor and percussive dance artist\, offers &ldquo\;Patterns of Delight\,&rdquo\; a movement study exploring joy\, community\, and composition.
