HOUSTON, TEXAS – January 9, 2015 – NobleMotion Dance, known for its ferocious dancing and unique collaborations, is excited to present an evening of work by Laura Harrell and Brittany Thetford Deveau in their premier of Homegrown at The Barn February 6-7 at 8 PM. Homegrown is a heart-felt evening that examines family, dreams, and the sticky places in life. The evening features the light design of David J Deveau as well as many of Houston’s well-known contemporary dancers.
Laura Harrell’s Stuck between a rug and a hard place explores the human tendency to sweep problems under the “rug.” Harrell exposes the side of ourselves we hide through subtle humor and relatable situations. Harrell comments, “I wanted to investigate why we do so, how we do so, and finally, what happens when there is no more room under our rug and everything is exposed.”
Brittany Thetford Deveau’s portion is composed of four works that incorporate miniature houses, oxygen masks, and projection design. Oxy|Gin, a duet thatexplores the dreams of a martyr, requires the dancers to move without breathing.Real. Estate addresses the concepts of “home” and all of the possible constructs and configurations. Thetford states, “There is a place that exists that I run from, and in turn, it is always the same place that I run towards; that place is home.”
NMD Artistic Director Andy Noble states, “Laura’s really smart about combining inventive movement layered with meaning and she is very creative at utilizing props and set design. Brittany often makes the unorthodox choreographic choice, and in doing so, says something coarse and beautiful. We could not be more excited about introducing these talented artists to the Houston community. I think audiences will be impressed by the quality of their work.”
Tickets are $15 general admission. Tickets can be purchased online atwww.noblemotiondance.com or by contacting Dionne Noble at 832-627-9663.
