Five
dances
 Friday,
February 12, 1999
Ensemble collective will participate in a University
Musical Society sponsored masterclass/workshop with John
Cage Specialist Laura Kuhn. In conjunction with the Merce
Cunningham Dance company's visit to Ann Arbor, Brave New
Works has commissioned five Ann Arbor composers to
collaborate with five Ann Arbor Choreographers to create 5
Dances. These are of course inspired by the collaboration
between John Cage and Merce Cunningham in their 16
dances.

Michigan at Ann Arbor

The
first half of the concert will feature George Crumb's
Madrigals Books I-IV
Madrigals were coached by the
composer during his residency in Ann Arbor. Brave New Works
hosted George Crumb jointly with the University of Michigan
Contemporary Directions Ensemble on February 5th and 6th in
the Rackham Auditorium
Performers for the Madrigals
are
Jennifer Goltz, voice

The
creation of Five dances are a true collaboration between the
composer, choreographer and the instrumentalists as equal
partners. The compositions employ improvisatory and
aleatoric interaction between the performers and the
dancers. The composers participated through the rehearsal
process to interact with both dancers and
instrumentalists
