FWDC presents the works of budding local and regional choreographers in an intimate setting that provides the audience the unique opportunity to give the choreographers feedback…anonymously. We also had many more proposals for the Choreographers Lab performance February 18 and 19 than usual.
This year we will see choreography excerpts from Motus Dance Theatre’s “IN” performance from Indianapolis about “in-clusion.” We’ll also see student dancers from Weisser Park School, IPFW, North Side High School and South Side High School. Please come and support emerging artists!
Performances will be February 18 at 7 pm and February 19 at 2 pm in the FWDC’s Elliot Studio. Tickets are just $8 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under.
Call 424-6574 or email info@fwdc.org for more information or to purchase tickets.

Every April since 1989, the Fort Wayne Dance Collective brings a guest artist to Fort Wayne. This year, we are proud and thrilled to present RUBBERBANDance Group from Montréal, Canada. They will be performing the piece, Gravity of Center. After years of exploring dance and theatre from urban, classical and contemporary angles, Victor Quijada, Artistic Director/Choreographer, formed Rubberbandance Group in 2002. Presenting choreographic works that examine human relationships, this extraordinary collection of world-class dancers articulates the perfect marriage between explosive hip-hop physicality and the subtle profoundness of contemporary story telling. A combination of the narrative, the spectacular, and freedom of break dancing with the abstraction, nuances, and technique of contemporary dance results in a true hybrid of dance forms. Anne Plamondon joined the group in 2002 as a dancer and contributed highly to the growth and development of the company. She has been co-artistic director of RBDG since September 2005.
This breath-taking fusion of contemporary ballet and break dancing is sure to excite and amaze. Please save the date April 14, 2012 for this performance at the Arts United Center.
