The three dances
Lamentos (world premiere)
Princess Grace Award-winning choreographer Omar Román de Jesús created Lamentos for Nimbus Dance with Segunda Quimbamba, a Puerto Rican percussion ensemble from Jersey City. Nimbus says the piece brings contemporary concert dance together with the Puerto Rican traditions of bomba and plena, with an electronic score by composer Jesse Scheinin and costumes by Karen Young. Lamentos is commissioned in part by New Jersey Performing Arts Center.
Adventure 1 (in preview)
Visiting Atlanta artists lauri stallings and glo present the first part of a new work set to Philip Glass’s Mad Rush, played live by Jersey City pianist Yukiko Tanaka and danced by four glo moving artists.
Surface Tension
Nimbus founder and artistic director Samuel Pott’s Surface Tension returns, a 2014 work with Tanaka performing Brahms and Liszt live on stage, accompanied by the sounds of rocks and seaweed. Nimbus describes it as a piece about where one body ends and another begins.
