MoToR/dance: Water in the Kettle (World Premiere)

Body music percussive choir MoToR/dance presents an intimate evening of story, dance, music and community.
MoToR/dance and Rhythmix Cultural Works present the World Premiere of Water in the Kettle, 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. 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.
Three performances only!
Friday, Feb 3rd at 8pm
Saturday, Feb 4th at 5pm & 8pm

Rhythmix Cultural Works is Alameda's destination for the arts that brings people of all ages together to experience and explore music, dance, visual art and educational opportunities.

Alameda is kicking off the development of an updated Urban Forest Plan! The plan will update and expand the 2010 Master Street Tree Plan.

Join us at an upcoming event and learn more about the plan at www.alamedaca.gov/urbanforestplan.
