2 Companies 1 Night is an exhilarating studio showcase of two young contemporary dance companies, DANCE IQUAIL! under the Artistic Direction of Iquail Shaheed and the VON HOWARD PROJECT directed by Christian von Howard. The VON HOWARD PROJECT, a company driven by choreographic diversity, enters their sixth season with the final chapters of Mr. von Howard’s De Materie and the New York premiere of Trio, a collaborative work with choreographers Daniel Gwirtzman and Stephanie Milling. This studio showcase is a teaser for both companies shared NYC Season on October 9-11, 2009 in The Ailey Citigroup Theater/The Joan Weill Center for Dance.  

 

DANCE IQUAIL! introduces three works in this exciting evening of dance. Iquail Shaheed unveils his work-in-progress Still With Me. This repertory company will also preview the works of guest choreographers Eric Bean, Jogo, and Christopher Ralph, Things Not Said. DANCE IQUAIL!, a passionate ensemble of artists, strives to elevate, enrich, empower and encourage its audiences with its innovative and thought provoking works.

 

VON HOWARD PROJECT will present the opening sections of Christian von Howard’s work De Materie, a contemporary ballet that he has been developing since the fall of 2007. De Materie will be performed by von Howard’s repertory students from Virginia Commonwealth University; the dance fields next wave of dynamic young dance artists. This work deconstructs and interconnects a pulsating physical language crawling with moments of intricate phrase work and instances of abstract gesture. Also on the bill is Trio, which premiered in the 2008 Charlotte Dance Festival, a dense collaboration between company artists Daniel Gwirtzman, Stephanie Milling and von Howard. This work, created to the richly timbered music of Johannes Brahms is a game of sorts; exploring the unspoken relationship between three people utilizing elaborate partnering tableaus and aerial movements designed to take the audience on a visual and emotional rollercoaster.
