Ohio Dance Theatre
Ohio Dance Theatre’s diverse repertory and theatrical style reflects the best and confronts the worst of the human spirit, its beauty of purity of movement, and the complexity of the human soul when it premieres Silent Witness and other repertory works as part of DanceWorks 09.
Silent Witness, developed and choreographed by Artistic Director, Denise Gula, is a multimedia theatrical work revealing the darkness of the human soul. Inspired by the disturbing and poignant images of Genesis House’s Silent Witness exhibit, a display that identifies and honors victims of domestic violence, the work in progress serves as a moving tribute to the victims while bringing attention to this serious social problem.
Ohio Dance Theatre will also feature Spindrift, a contemporary ballet performed to the music of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. The work reflects the beauty found in our natural world while expressing the serene calm and sudden power of an ever changing New England Coastline.
