"To A Different Beat"
Philadelphia Premiere
Known for visually arresting creations, this contemporary youth company returns to Fringe for a third year, exploring a cultural fusion of expressive rhythm and dance set to modern global music. Blending individual creativity, these dancers entice with their own rhythms of the heart, intense imagery, boldness and pure energy.
For the cast of Music & Motion Dance, this is their most ambitious project to date. High-energy world beats and sizzling rhythms “make the dances more challenging and complex to choreograph” according to senior dancer, Noelle Tolbert. But she adds, “they also just make you want to get up and move, stomp, dance and just enjoy this ethno-fusion and celebration of what is a part of all of us.”
Music & Motion Dance Productions is a non-profit corporation, which is both owned and operated by teens with mentoring from outside corporations and individuals. It is a group of pre-professional dancers ages fourteen thru nineteen, who have expressed an interest in pursuing dance and the performing arts. Under the artistic direction of Steven Weisz, this group’s mission has been to empower young people through dance and creative collaboration in the performing arts, building self-esteem and inspiring self expression and community action.
To that end, Music & Motion performs locally and in surrounding communities throughout the year, as well as performances in a fully professional atmosphere presented for corporations, museums, gardens, and live arts related venues. Music & Motion fulfills the need for providing young dancers with performing experience in a nurturing environment, while continually exciting audiences wherever they perform. The collaborative efforts of the entire company create a synergy rich in imagination, celebration and spirit.
2006 Cast Members are: Maddie Breslin, Yardley, PA ; Julie Ann D'Angelo, Bristol, PA; Christina Heupel, Newtown, PA; Kristen Konski, Bristol, PA; Kate Lubenetski, Quakertown, PA ; Jennifer Laucella, Horsham, PA; Melissa Martin, Schwenksville, PA; Lauren Mulholland, Aston, PA; Andrea Piovane, Bensalem, PA ; Alexandra Ruch, Horsham, PA; and Noelle Tolbert, Harleysville, PA.
