Amber Perkins dance company plans Sept. 22 performance
NORWICH – The Phoenix Project Dance Theatre, a national award winning dance troupe based in Norwich, plans to seize the night on Saturday, Sept. 22 at the Chenango County Council of the Arts theater.
Eleven modern, mostly uptempo pieces will be performed under the theme, ‘Carpe Nocturne.’ Choreographer Amber Perkins said her troupe of 13 dancers will showcase “a less serious, much lighter pace of movement” than has traditionally characterized her work.
“We wanted to make a splash on stage this year with an all encompassing show of styles,” she said.
The Phoenix Project is a not-for-profit company of professional dancers formerly trained at the Amber Perkins School of the Arts in Norwich. Begun in 2004, it has performed at the Arts Council annually, traveled to Germany last year for the Tanz Tage Festival in Bavaria and won the Spirit of Elan Award at the Elan Dance Festival in New York City in 2005. The troupe’s award winning adagio piece entitled, “Firebird” will be featured in the upcoming show.
Audiences will be the first to see Perkins’ newest choreography, a Scottish-inspired piece called, “The Jig of Life,” in addition to several original solos and adagio duos.
The performance begins at 7 p.m. in the Martin W. Kappel Theater at the Arts Council, located on 27 W. Main St. in Norwich. For reservations and ticket information, call 336-6143.
Chenango County Council of the Arts Director Victoria Kappel said she looks forward to The Phoenix Project Dance Troupe’s appearance on stage.
“It’s becoming an annual event that I look forward to. The fact that we are growing our own professional dance company here speaks very well to the talent of the dancers and the education of the teachers in the area,” Kappel said. “I know the whole community looks forward to it as well.”
The Amber Perkins School of the Arts opened a satellite studio this month in the Aero Gymnastic Academy Building in Vestal, located at 541 Vestal Parkway East. The studio is intended to serve Perkins’ growing roster of students who live in the greater Binghamton area, the nationally acclaimed choreographer said.
There will be no changes to dance studio operations at the Rexford Street location in Norwich, opened in 1997.
Perkins’ studio was called “the school to watch” in a recent issue of Dancer Magazine and her choreography earned her the distinguished honor of Choreographer of the Year from 2001 to 2006 at the American Dance Awards competitions.
The Amber Perkins School of the Arts specializes in modern, jazz, tap, ballet and adagio. The Vestal location will be accepting enrollment at an open house from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 14. For more information, call 336-6143.
