Xclaim Dance Company opens its 2010-2011 season August 6th -8th with a concert of eclectic new work that draws attention to the significant human rights issue of human trafficking and other forms of modern-day slavery. The premiere entitled Red Light Red Letter – Dances of Redemption, is a collection of work by Artistic Director Mariah Layne French and company members Stephanie Hall, Kelsey Schafer, and Deena Schmidt. The pieces reflect the journey of the human spirit from bondage and limitation to courage and triumph. The show will include jazz-fusion choreography with inspiration from contemporary, African, Spanish, hip-hop, and jazz-ballet roots. A portion of the proceeds will benefit local charities working to battle human trafficking.
