A champagne toast and reception follows each performance.

A radical stylistic departure for the company and the product of 2.5 years of research into the dances of children (Alexandra’s own) as well as collaborations with developmental movement specialists, milkdreams explores vocabulary that bypasses neurological and intellectual patterning, revealing a dimension to our movement that is magical, unconscious, and utterly personal. A video of the company rehearsing milkdreams went viral last year, and to date has been viewed almost a billion times: http://bit.ly/QF23ck.

The music is composed by Robert Poss and performed by Robert and Hideki Kato, and the work is performed by dancers Carly Berrett, Lea Fulton, Edward Rice, and Simon Thomas-Train.

ABOUT THE COMPANY: Alexandra Beller/Dances, now in its 14th year, is an ensemble of highly skilled dancer/ actors working on the edge between dance and theater. The company seeks to intersect distinctions between races, nationalities, sexual orientations and political affiliations through a series of artistic collisions. Artistic Director Alexandra Beller was a member of Bill T Jones/ Arnie Zane Dance Company for six years, and studied with Ann Bogart, Bebe Miller, Ann Carlson, Janet Wong, RoseAnne Spradlin, and Janet Lilly.
