DCDC does 2 cities at once
The Dayton Contemporary Dance Company’s members are known for speed and leaping ability, among other qualities.
This weekend, Aug. 7 and 8, they will have one foot in New York City and the other in Akron. Sort of.
A split squad of DCDC dancers will perform in both cities.
One contingent will take the stage at 8 p.m. Saturday and 4 p.m. Sunday in New York’s Central Park for that city’s SummerStage Performance Series. The program will be Gina Walther’s “Still Present,” Shonna Hickman-Matlock’s “Unresolved,” excerpts from William B. McClellan Jr.’s “Milonga” and Debbie Blunden-Diggs’ “In My Father’s House.”
The other will dance at 8:45 p.m. Saturday and Sunday in Akron’s Firestone Park. That program will be Blunden-Diggs’ “Traffic” and “In My Father’s House.”
Blunden-Diggs, who is artistic director, said the Akron date was already set when the New York opportunity presented itself. We have never tried anything like this — two venues at once — but it’s a great way to increase exposure for the company.”
DCDC is also scheduled to perform Aug. 22 in Chicago. Its home opener will be Oct. 3 at Centerville High School.
