Always inventive, powerful, and intensely emotional, Invertigo Dance Theatre’s latest production, Interior Design, will be performed Saturday April 20th and Sunday April 21st at the Kirk Douglas Theatre in Culver City. Using the vibrance of modern dance and the gift of extraordinary dancers and choreography, the production takes viewers on an interactive and deligthful journey through the relationship of a couple, as they move through moments of love, loss and transformation. The work takes us into the world of Anna and Carlos, as they move into a new space together, where they are soon “navigating an ocean of boxes, waves of grief, tides of neighborhood drama, and the ultimate challenge in any relationship: assembling Ikea furniture.”
Artistic Director and Invertigo founder Laura Karlin choreographs in her exciting signature narrative style, as dancers
Hyosun Choi and Marco Palomino soar through an emotionally rich and kinetic narrative. The production features music by Diana Lynn Wallace and Eric Mason.
Since its inception in 2007, Invertigo Dance Theatre has presented original, dynamic, and emotional productions as well as programs that are commuinty centered and as joyous as they are interactive and inclusive.
Invertigo has created and performed more than 40 original choreographic works that invite viewers to dive deeply into the joy and wonder of dance. Along with its eclectic, mesmerizing performances Invertigo offers an inspiring community engagement program, Dancing Through Parkinson’s, which uses dance as the medium to connect and inspire those with Parkinson’s Disease and other neurodegenerative disorders.
Invertigo productions are always a pure pleasure to watch – this weekends’ shows will be the fourth production I’ve seen from this company. The talented group offers a vital mix of dance, contemporary music, imaginative costumes and set design sure to bring a fusion of movement and magic to those fortunate enough to view the latest production.
