Case’s Mather Dance Collective Entertains Cleveland
MaDaCol had guests arriving more than half an hour before the performance for a chance to get seats. The room was packed with students volunteering to sit on the floor so they could watch the performances. MaDaCol had four performances, all choreographed by students, with most also creating their own costumes as well. Dancers from the entire Cleveland community participated, some students, some alumni, and some simply returning for the fun.
The show opened with an emotional piece by graduate student Jamie Knurek, delving into mirror scenes. The show then continued with a piece by Megan Chirby that included one of our very own, Carmen Hendricks, as a performer. The theme was rebounding with the choreography revolving around circular motion, and continuously returning to the same position. The third piece by Jennifer Birou Lakamp had an interesting choreography. Combined with the costumes the dancers appeared as ocean waves. The final piece by Sernaz Demirel was the most fun, starting with a light-hearted approach of girls whispering secrets. The dance had them pretending to hide from one performer as if they would be caught. In the end the show was well worth my time, and judging by other reactions I wasn’t the only one to think so. Many of my friends cannot wait until the next performance.
