Another ALD signature performance, with music of Dimitri Shostakovich, his String Quartet No. 8, performed live by The Dickson String Quartet [june 19 + 20 only] and music of Tomas Svoboda, 3 of his Nine Etudes in Fugue Style for piano solo, performed live by Christopher Schindler, all to fresh choreography of Agnieszka Laska set on her ever more exuberant company, plus a restaging of Diameter IX, a perennial favorite, to music of Resident Composer Jackie T. Gabel, performed live [june 19 + 20 only] by flutist John Savage and percussionist Joel Bluestone with the dancers who premiered it in 2003, Sumi Wu and Shakir Najib.
Joining ALD for this performance is Dancing People Company from Ashland, Oregon. Their program includes:
More Immediate Than Reality - Choreography: Robin Stiehm - a hard-edged, stripped down look at the blindness we allow ourselves when faced with the discomfort of confronting reality.
Letters To Tillie - Choreography: Peggy Paver - a provocative and emotional depiction of the personal consequences of war. It embodies one family's experience of World War II; the pain of separation, the passion of love reunited, the individual heartbreak, and ultimately the life altering decisions that emerge. Represented in a series of vignettes, Letters to Tillie takes the audience on a journey that leaves them pensive about the war experience, then or now.

What's war? What's plague? We know they'ill pass
Judgement is passed, we see an end to them.
But which of us can cope with this fear, this -
The terror that is named the flight of time?
Anna Akhmatova
Alison Camp and Shelly Misevch
music of Ernest Bloch
