SECOND PART OF DANCE SERIES AT BRAND
The Brand Library Associates present the second part of their free
2004 Dance Series with a performance by Benita Bike's DanceArt
Company at 3 p.m. Sunday at the Brand Library Galleries in Brand Park
in Glendale.
Guests will see the performances of three dances, hear
introductory comments on each dance and participate in discussions
with the artists.
The three dances featured are "Overlapping," "Gottschalk Dances"
and "Angels and Wantons."
"Gottschalk Dances" is set to the music of 19th century American
composer Louis Moreau Gottschalk. "Angels and Wantons" focuses on the
complex nature of women. This dance work is accompanied by dancers'
whispers, medieval vocal and Baroque instrumental music.
The galleries are in Brand Park, 1601 W. Mountain St., Glendale.
