Commotion Dance Theater

Commotion Dance Theater

Tues June 11 at 8 PM

New and repertory work by Ruben T. Ornelas, Laurie MacFarlane, plus electronic music by guest artist Dan Evans Farkas.

LAURIE MACFARLANE has performed her choreography and improvisations throughout the US, in Canada and Mexico; in theaters, storefront windows, cafes, and even a garage in Ypsilanti.

RUBEN T. ORNELAS has done this, that, and the other, and is currently working on something unimaginable. He has been dancing and making dances for a minute.

They have been co-conspirators for many years, performing recently under the moniker Commotion Dance Theater. This evening’s work will include new and gently used dances, which incorporate sounds, text and movement to create entertaining and expressive pieces: “a light-hearted performance that requires zero effort to enjoy” (City Newspaper, 2016)
