Scramble (2007)
Choreography KT Nelson | Music Johann Sebastian Bach | Lights Lynda Rieman

“...in Nelson's "Scramble." The music is Bach's Cello Suite No. 6 in D Major, and the simplicity of Nelson's approach allows her to layer ever-richer emotional complexities. The movement is trademark ODC: space-devouring jumps and lifts, athletic partnering delivered with a jazzy edge.”
— San Francisco Chronicle.

A Pleasant Looking Woman in Sensible Clothes (2007)
Choreography Brenda Way/ Music David Lang | Video Hiraki Sawa | Lights and Sets Alexander V. Nichols

This piece completes a trilogy of works by social commentator/choreographer Brenda Way—On a Train Heading South (2004—climate change), time remaining (2005—religious extremism) and A Pleasant Looking Woman in Sensible Clothes (2007) which explores homeland insecurity. Through Hiraki Sawa’s extraordinary video and ODC’s compelling movement, the intimate spaces of daily life— our last retreat, are turned inside out.

Hunting & Gathering (World Premiere)
Choreography KT Nelson | Music Brian Eno and David Byrne | Lights Matthew Antaky

A second world premiere by KT Nelson, features three strikingly different ODC dancers, Private Freeman, Quilet Rarang, and Corey Brady in a churning centrifuge of movement. This raw, demanding work is set to music by art-rock music icons Brian Eno and David Byrne in a score combining electronic and world music with percussion.

Origins of Flight (World Premiere)
Choreography Brenda Way | Music Heinrich Biber, Arcangelo Corelli, and Johann Heinrich Schmelzer | Lights Alexander V. Nichols

This third world premiere by Brenda Way set to music by Heinrich Biber, Arcangelo Corelli and Johann Heinrich Schmelzer, celebrates the language of movement and the joy of people in motion. Commissioned in loving memory of longtime ODC supporter Norman Feintech, Origins of Flight takes the power and joy of a long and generative relationship as its “take-off” and “landing” point.
