GODDESS, SIREN, MONSTER, and LIQUID SHAKTI by Patrica Beamn and Hari Krishnan, as part of Spring Faculty Concert Series
At: Wesleyan University, CFA Theater, Middletown, Connecticut, USA, 8pm
Patricia Beaman and Hari Krishnan, Professors of Dance at Wesleyan University, have long shared a mutual fascination with the similarities between their respective forms, Baroque dance and Bharatanatyam. In both, the compositional principles are found in antique texts, the narratives of the dances are rooted in mythology, and the formulaic structures are inextricably linked to music. In Goddess, Siren, Monster, and Liquid Shakti, they have collaborated on a suite of solo dances featuring iconic female figures from Greco-Roman and Hindu mythology. Juxtaposing the traditional forms and mythological subject matter of Baroque dance (Beaman) and Bharatanatyam (Krishnan) with modern movement and contemporary issues, they propel the classic stories of Venus, Armide, Scylla, and Ganga into the present. Costumes by Leslie Weinberg and Rex with lighting by John Carr in addition to an international collaborative team from the US and Canada. Liquid Shakti has been commissioned by Wesleyan University's Feet to the Fire.
