LIVE PERFORMANCE • DANCE EDUCATION

Contradiction Dance is a place where theatre, dance, and pop culture meet. The company’s vision is to make dances that report on, reflect, and question the world in which we live. Nurtured on the belief that artists and audience members communicate in a dialogue through the chosen medium, Contradiction Dance fosters discussion, reflection, and change through live performance and dance education.

Contradiction Dance blends several dance forms (modern, hip-hop, tap, and jazz) with aspects of storytelling and theater. This mix allows the company to create an exchange between art and life for audiences, performers, and collaborators alike. The company has performed throughout the greater Washington, D.C., area including The Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage, The Jack Guidone Theater at Joy of Motion Dance Center, Harold and Sylvia Greenberg Theatre, the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library, and St. Mary’s College.

Thoughts on Change....

Got this lil piece of wisdom from the village voice horoscopes...

PISCES [February 19–March 20] I've borrowed a fable from the ancient Greek writer Aesop to create a parable you can use in the coming weeks. Once upon a time, there was a very thirsty crow. Rain hadn't fallen in a long time, and the creek from which she'd always drunk had dried up. Searching for a bit of moisture, the crow happened upon a tree under which sat a pitcher with some water in it. But the pitcher's neck was narrow, and the crow couldn't fit her beak past it to reach the water. Inspired by desperation, the crow at last got an idea. Why not drop small rocks into the pitcher, making the water's level rise? And that's exactly what she did. How sweet it was when at last she quenched her thirst.

Reminds me of the Einstein quote:

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

- Albert Einstein

Thoughts & Footage

My horoscope for today made me smile:

You must devote yourself this time to those whom you love. Everything will depend on the way you'll live with your near ones; if harmony prevails, if aggressivity is banned from your relationships, then things will go all well. Your career situation will be good on the whole; you'll be quite favored despite some small clouds here and there: you'll have original ideas, and you'll be supported and helped by your entourage. Too rich a diet will prove more harmful to you than ever; avoid the foods that may perturb your balance and have negative effects on your blood circulation.

Here's a sneak peak at some new material for our In the Flesh Concert at the Phillips Collection July 23rd... this was our first rehearsal with it - more to come!
