Summary

On the occasion of the 15th anniversary of Dance Umbrella, a presenter of dance in the Boston area, its founder and director Jeremy Alliger looks back at its origin and history. Among the activities he discusses are residency programs for artists in Boston, the commissioning of new works, the presentation of underrepresented dance forms, the educational outreach program, working with other presenters, bringing companies from abroad, and plans for an international festival of wheelchair dance. The many video excerpts include an a cappella tap solo by Gregory Hines ; Mark Morris in a solo from his work Three preludes ; the Mark Morris Dance Group in an excerpt from Morris's Gloria ; the American Indian Dance Theatre ; Elizabeth Streb's Ringside company ; an aerial dancing piece titled Night thoughts ; Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane & Company in an excerpt from Jones's Still/Here ; the Butō dance company Sankaï Juku ; and AXIS Dance Troupe and Cando/Co in examples of wheelchair dancing. Additionally, a compilation of the highlights of Dance Umbrella's upcoming season includes briefer excerpts of Michael Moschen, Savion Glover, scenes from the musical Stomp, and a hip hop company.
