Coming in January 2016, Thingamajig Theatre Company is proud to present ‘nova’ … this season’s original dance piece conceived, directed and choreographed by the company’s Resident Choreographer Ryan Hazelbaker.
Suspended and set in the void of space, we follow the stars as they search for their purpose and explore the curiosities of movement through a zero-gravity continuum.
Created in the same world as last year’s universUS, Hazelbaker directs the audience’s minds to new questions from a new point of view. This time, we investigate love from a platonic point of view, begging the question: How can the powerful love between a mother and her children influence the balance of life itself?
Two brothers, who have always been harmonious, are coming of age and answer the internal call to provide protection for their mother, Nova. In a fraternal battle, each sees himself as the sole protector and therefore champion of her love. Can these celestial siblings overcome adversity for their higher purpose?
‘nova’ features some of Thingamajig’s favorites: Samuel Damaré (Barfet in Spelling Bee), Taylor Marrs (Dickon in The Secret Garden) and Heather McCall (Kala in Tarzan) as Nova. The ballet will feature original music composed by Nova herself, Heather McCall.
Performances are January 20 & 27 at 7pm. Call 970-731-SHOW for tickets and info.
