Everett’s Somewhere In The Dream
About The Piece
Everett Dance Theatre's Somewhere in the Dream includes elements common to all of Everett's work: absurd humor, intelligent and insightful content, and original choreography that is both athletically-charged and lyrical. Dream is set among a network of rolling chain-link fences, stairways, trampolines, and crash pads, that create a mobile and multi-level playground. What takes place there incorporates a mixture of styles, including breakdancing, stepping, and ballet, as well as Everett's signature highly visceral and complex movement sequences. The dancing throughout the piece evokes a dream-like space, and a variety of tangled emotions related to the "Dream" of the piece's title and leitmotif: of a place of learning that gives hope; of an education that exalts compassion and respect for diversity; and of a world that supports and lives up to these values.
