As part of the 3 week series CENTER, GRAVITY, RHYTHM,<\/strong> taking place from September 12 \u2013 October 4, 20<\/span>15, Swarthmore is excited to bring SOUL PROJECT to campus. The show begins\u2026spontaneously\u2026an extraordinary, unpredictable presentation and experience of being continuously alive. On, like a candle. The music starts and dancers emerge from the audience, moving to a sublime live recording of a \u201cvintage\u201d soul singer \u2013 Aretha Franklin, Ike & Tina Turner, Bettye Lavette, Gladys Knight & The Pips \u2013 following their own movement quest to embody the dance as deeply and powerfully as the singer reveals the song.<\/p>\n

SOUL PROJECT conceived and directed by the legendary David Zambrano, in collaboration with a cast of six remarkable performers from Mozambique, Slovenia, Slovakia, South Korea and Venezuela, simultaneously creates a sense of heightened perception and grounded physicality. Designed to be performed in an open space-a gallery, black box, gymnasium, ballroom, church, large stage, or even outdoors – SOUL PROJECT is a series of virtuosic solos, each lasting the length of a song; but the order of the solos and their location in the space is a function of chance, making each night\u2019s performance unique.
\n<\/span><\/span>
\n\u00a0Along with this performance, the college will host a unique series of technique and repertory classes in various dance vocabularies and improvisation methodologies, an informal presentation of performance ideas from the three featured artists, and informal discussions with the campus community around new notions of contemporary performance. All events happening at Swarthmore College are free and open to the public. More details are available online: http:\/\/www.jumatatu.org\/center-gravity-rhythm<\/a><\/p>\n
