Performances have just finished for a revival of Woman Sleeping from 1981, co-ordinated into a new work "Baggage", about Death and how we continue to connect with those we have been close to that becomes additional 'baggage' in a positive way. Besides the dance aspect of the work, people are contributing images and words using the Facebook "Baggage Project" page about someone (person or animal) that they have lost. The centerpiece of the work is called "Tap Dance Widows Club", and celebrates three husbands (Fayard Nicholas, Alfred Desio, and Jon Zerby) with narration from their widows using historic footage and photos as well as live dance. You can see some clips from the performance on our company news page.
Performances next season include our first New York tour of "The Patchwork Girl of Oz.
***********************************************************************
Louise Reichlin & Dancers burst into the public eye in 1979 with their first performance at the Anson Ford Theatre when "Reichlin created a sensation with "The Tennis Dances" (Dance News). Over the years she has continued to examine our society from its most primitive nature to the emergence of the information age with "The E-mail Dances" in 1996. Through multiple performances for the 23rd Olympiad, a summer series at the LA Zoo, touring the US and Mexico with "Dream Scapes" and "The Patchwork Girl of Oz," Reichlin has consistently created "probing and provocative" works. (Dance Magazine)
A recent work is "The Better to Bite You With" which was recently produced at the Edye Second Space, and presented by the City of Fontana, at the WAA Dance Showcase 2010, and at the TriArt Festival. We are currently doing our first version for schools at Aeolian Elementary in June 2011. Earlier this season the company also performed "Dance At the Stone House", a site specific work (see review). Louise Reichlin & Dancers also works in partnership with many schools in the Los Angeles area providing performances, staff development training for teachers and residency workshops with children. The company, a performing unit of Los Angeles Choreographers & Dancers, was founded by Louise Reichlin in 1979.
