The performance features Cole’s seminal work Written on the Body, two other TDC pieces, and selected repertory by Southern Danceworks at Samford University’s Harrison Theatre on Saturday, March 29 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, March 30 at 2:30 p.m. The Dance COLEctive will focus activities on Written on the Body, a work that uses the lives of the Brontë sisters as a point of departure in its exploration of gender roles and stereotypes. The hidden identities of authors Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë, as well as the hardships they endured throughout their lives in Victorian England, provide the framework. Cole interprets the Brontës’ masculine and feminine personas, using images of power, strength, vulnerability, and intimacy, exploring how each attribute can be related through movement. Tickets are $20, $15 for seniors, and $10 for students. Tickets are on sale now through the Samford University web site http://www.samfordartstickets.com. They can also be purchased at the door. The tour is made possible by grants from the Alabama State Council on the Arts, Southern Arts Federation, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
