Molissa Udevitz is presenting her dance entitled, Ebb & Flow at URCAD, April 22, 2015 in the Performing Arts and Humanities Building in room 337 at 10:15am.
The Inspiration
This piece was inspired by her personal observations of the extreme ocean tides of Kachemak Bay in Homer, Alaska. These tides can fluctuate over 25 feet in one day, drastically altering the physical appearance of the bay and inspiring me to capture this repetitive transformation through dance.
The Dance
Ebb & Flow was created by choreographing abstract movement sequences that suggest different aspects of the tide, such as kelp swaying in ocean currents or churning waters on stormy days. The dance strives to encourage the audience to reflect upon the external forces that seemingly push and pull the dancers across the stage.
Ebb & Flow premiered in November 2014 at UMBC’s Fall Senior Dance Concert and was also selected to perform in an adjudicated concert at the American College Dance Festival Association Mid-Atlantic conference in March 2015.
