Lion’s Leap Dance
Duets choreographed and performed by Sarah Berges and Courtney Trowman are the focus of Lion’s Leap Dance. Lion’s Leap will perform anywhere…and we do! From Santa Monica’s beaches to San Miguel de Allende’s Spanish colonial theaters we present contemporary dance - richly textured, highly polished.
Repertory includes:
Prehistory
Choreography by Sarah Berges and Courtney Trowman
Music: “Saeglopur” by Sigur Rós
Themes of elemental survival, rivalry and coming-to-terms spur this dance for two + chorus. A whirlwind of movement and a ritual circle dance are contrasting motifs set to Sigur Rós’ haunting music.
In Plain Sight
Choreography by Sarah Berges with Courtney Trowman
Music: “O Superman” by Laurie Anderson
Our modern American life is in schizophrenic balance between “getting on with life” and paying due attention to a national agenda we benefit from but are not in control of. We are”safe” in our own neighborhoods and yet we live with profound fear. Could it be our fear is really an expression of the fear Americans disseminate far and wide in our role as “the greatest power on earth?”
“Here come the planes…they’re American planes.” – Laurie Anderson
