It’s time to warm up the stage for Eclectic Edge Ensemble’s (EEE) 11th season DreamScape, featuring Karis Sloss’ signature contemporary jazz movement, as she asks "What is something you have always dreamed of doing, but haven't yet?" Featuring a 14 member company, 4 composers, and additional visual elements by Laura Wilhelm of Mad Munchkin Productions, EEE will perform 4 shows for the first time at the Southern Theater in Mpls, February 13th-16th, 2014. Sloss’ choreography, which has been described as “modern dance touchstones from Martha Graham to Merce Cunningham to Doug Varone, but maintains her own energetic, expressive style” – Ron Hubbard, Pioneer Press, along with original compositions, inspiring the audience to travel with the dancers, in and out of rhythm, while exploring themes such as time, love, career, wonder, travel, loss, escape, and thrill. Movement like words that bend and reach, start and finish, languish and stutter. Truly visceral in its experience, DreamScape is both memorizing and invigorating; showcasing the best of what the jazz dance scene has to offer.
