Under the direction of Margi Cole, The Dance COLEctive wil bring literary icons to life. Written on the Body explores the lives of the Brontë sisters in this exploration of duality. Creating masculine pseudonyms, Charlotte, Emily and Anne Brontë all published works under more socially acceptable male pen names. In this densely layered piece, Cole interprets the Brontës’ masculine and feminine personas, using images of power, strength, vulnerability and intimacy. Also on the program is Channel, a commissioned solo for Cole created by Ellie Klopp, former Associate Director of Margaret Jenkins Dance Company, and a new work by local choreographer Colleen Halloran.
