Contemporary ballet company Dominic Walsh Dance Theater will end its 2007-2008 season run at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts, Zilkha Hall with
E_Merging II on April 10 and 11, 2008 at 7:30 PM.
With this program, Dominic Walsh Dance Theater will build on its long tradition of collaboration by working with local artists to produce unique works that integrate the disciplines of visual art and dance.
The season will close with a new take on Dominic Walsh Dance Theater’s successful fall 2006 production that highlighted new works by up-and-coming choreographers created in collaboration with local visual artists. E_Merging II will feature brand new works created for the DWDT dancers by two young artistic directors who are shaping the genre of contemporary ballet, our own Dominic Walsh and Gustavo Ramirez Sansano of Spain. Sansano has danced with many companies including the prestigious Nederlands Dance Theater II and Hubbard Street Dance Chicago and has choreographed for companies around the world. He is now founder and artistic director of a newly formed company and currently creating his second work for NDT II. Sansano will grace Houston audiences with his athletic and innovative movement vocabulary, while Walsh will create a fascinating work that focuses on the evolution of ballet philosophies that have inspired his choreography.
