MAY 11+12 Synetic Theater in Crystal City
Join us for the premiere of Lucy’s Local Playlist, an evening of choreography set to music by the best local bands.
We are now calling upon local bands to submit their music for consideration to be included in the 2012 performance schedule for Bowen McCauley Dance (BMD). McCauley will create original choreography for the 12 songs that are selected ) for“Lucy’s Local Playlist” performance on May 11-12, 2012 at Synetic Theater in Arlington, Virginia. The chosen songs will remain part of the BMD repertoire. Deadline for submission is January 31, 2012.
The inspiration for “Lucy’s Local Playlist” comes from “Lucy’s Playlist” – an audience favorite, based on 12 songs on Lucy Bowen McCauley’s own Ipod. “This contest is a way to raise the visibility of and collaborate with other artists in the community,” Bowen McCauley says. “We have a commitment to living composers and developing relationships through the process of creating something new.”
Tone, a Washington, DC musical group, collaborated with BMD from the fall of 2004 through the spring of 2006. Their partnership culminated in performances at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC, and a festival appearance in Aachen, Germany. “Performing our material live for BMD has enabled the ensemble to reach, connect, and convert an audience we always believed our work would resonate with. BMD provided a number of fantastic forums for presentation, both here in The District, and abroad,” said Norm Veenstra of Tone.
